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!
