Gather Meetings Reviews

Advice, go use discord or zoom. Gather is not worth the headache. What a joke.

Update months later : STILL no ability to control the volume of other guests, ie mute someone who’s streaming, lower the volume of someone who’s feed is loud, etc. When you get or make a private call with gather open, it unmutes your mic so that the entire room gets to hear your audio, unless they’re on a computer and choose to mute you. So that’s just great. I can’t say enough about how dismal GatherMeetings is. But hey, at least I can finally actually connect to a room. After one of my friends helped me by removing permissions to join altogether so that I could actually access the space, I finally managed to actually JOIN a meeting. For mobile users, this is just basically just zoom. No access to the map, no ability to edit the avatar, no ability to add anyone as a friend, no ability to control audio, no blocking, LITERALLY. NOTHING. Now GatherMeetings is freezing to the point that I cannot even close it to see my screen or shut down GatherMeetings , I have to wait for it to actually crash. Anytime two people screen share, it freezes my entire phone. Not just GatherMeetings , but MY ENTIRE PHONE. I can’t even shut this abomination of an app down when that happens. It’s unbelievable. I’m honestly shocked this company even bothered to release GatherMeetings at all if it’s this dysfunctional. What IS this?

The desktop version is cool. GatherMeetings though? Garbage, just use discord or zoom
