A critical zoom-slack feature is the /zoom command, which drops a link to an ad-hoc zoom meeting. If we had a /gather link that spawned us all to the same location (or moved us if we are already in the space) you'd get a better version of the same functionality, and it would help bridge the zoom workflow gap

I've built a simple Slack bot that updates a channel message once someone joins/leaves in Gather. I'm gonna open source it soon and release a user-friendly Slack app some time later. https://twitter.com/DRFR0ST/status/1508560947446702091

Nice suggestions below, Perhaps their could be a slack channel per room too for joins/broadcast messages?

Also, if the gather DM messaging could connect to slack DMs that would be amazing.

Since Slack has become my company's default communication mechanism and with its integrations and apps it would be very difficult to replace, I would essentially want the option to replace gather chat with slack embedded into the app. This would allow my company to use gather as a virtual office environment without context switching between applications.

This is the missing part to make Gather a part of work tools.

An option to announce about a member or guest joining Gather to a Slack Channel would be nice.

Right now we're using Gather for a quick visual status and our meetings but all of our chats and communication go through Slack.

We need this! Especially when you are in a slack call! So you can see in Gather that you are busy.
