What you need: - A desktop/laptop with a mic and camera. - A web browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended). - That’s it! There’s nothing to install, no software to download. How it works: - Gather is a video chat platform that has avatars move around a map. As you get close to other avatars, your video’s will pop up and you will be able to chat. - Move around the space using the arrow keys. - By moving your avatar around you can have spontaneous conversations with those around you. These can be either one-on-one or small groups depending on how many people are around you. - Talking to a group of people? Click the down arrows centered below the videos to shift into grid view. Troubleshooting: - Refreshing the page will fix most things! - If that doesn’t work, try muting and unmuting your mic and camera in Gather. - Check if your browser permitted camera and mic access. * Let Jean know if anything on the map is broken or confusing. * Have fun!
