Updates for June 6, 2021
If you're looking to Gather for some fun in the proverbial sun with your friends and family this Summer, be on the look out this Sunday for a Special Summer Promotion!
🎙Original Audio Setting
Running a Concert? Planning a talent show? Or maybe the default audio processing from Gather just isn't working for you? Well, now you can use your Original Audio in Gather!
We believe in flexibility and customization. With the new Original Audio setting, you can gain greater control on how your audio is processed! When you turn this setting on you will turn off:
- Echo cancelling
- Noise suppression, and
- Gain control
The audio you send to Gather through your own input system will be played as is. Our audio codec is set to a 48k clock rate, with 2 channels.
🌌Seamless Inter-Space travel
As the World becomes more connected, we've found that more and more people want to connect their Spaces with others. To improve this experience, we've removed the audio and video check screen for those traveling from one Gather Space to the next using Inter-Space portals. You will still get the warning about entering a new Space, but you won't be asked to check your hair before entering anymore!
Whether you're connecting your own Spaces or the Spaces from a huge collaborative effort between several organizations, we hope this helps create a more seamless experience for your guests.
