What’s New ❄️

Large Meeting Support

We've heard a lot of feedback from our users that you enjoy using Around for smaller, action-oriented meetings like stand-ups or brainstorms, but that Around is missing some things that would make it the go-to for larger meetings like all-hands.

Over the past few months, we've been introducing features into Around that address this feedback, and with our latest addition, Video Scrolling, we're excited to say that we think Around is ready for the big(ger) stage. Our large meeting support includes:

• Up to 50 participants in a meeting
• View all meeting participants at a glance, along with their name, avatar, local time zone and options for interaction (like Pin for me) with the Attendee List. Additionally, the avatar of a user that is actively speaking is highlighted just like their video circle.
• Never miss a reaction with the Reactions Feed, which shows GIF and emoji reactions for every participant whose video circle isn't currently visible.
• Easily see everyone that's in the meeting by navigating through all the video circles using the Video Scrolling feature.
  Note: Video Scrolling is coming soon for Campfire Mode

Echo Prevention Wizard

Our Echo Prevention feature (formerly known as EchoTerminator) allows people in the same room with different devices to connect to the same meeting with all mics on and no echo. There's no need to keep yourself muted or any expensive A/V equipment required, and as a result, hybrid-remote meetings feel more inclusive.

Because our users hold meetings in varying spaces with many different hardware configurations, we've introduced an Echo Prevention Wizard to make sure it's always easy to connect to an Echo Prevention group and resolve some of the common problems or questions that arise.

Audio/Video Setup (Browser)

Say goodbye to scrambling to adjust your audio and video in the first seconds of a meeting. With our new audio/video setup, users can adjust their audio, video, and filter settings before jumping into a Room. And Around can remember your settings so it's even quicker to join future meetings.

Note: This feature is only available for users joining in the browser

Holiday Vibes

Try out our new, limited edition Holiday Vibes to make your workdays feel a little less "bah humbug" and a little more "deck the halls."

Quality and Performance Updates 🌟

As Around matures from beta to 1.0, we are extremely focused on product quality, including battery usage, performance, CPU and memory usage, network stability and support for all popular devices and browsers. Please help us continue to improve Around by letting us know if you’re experiencing any issues with quality and performance. You can email us at support@around.co.

Improvements

• While the video circle is great for keeping attention focused on you and not your environment, it can sometimes feel limiting when trying to show something in your space during a meeting. For those moments, we've introduced the Share Webcam feature so everyone can see your entire webcam. Click the Screen Sharing tab to get started.
  Note: A shared webcam will not show your video filter
• Room names can now have accompanying emojis to bring even greater visibility – and style – to the meeting space. Edit or create a new room to try it out 🔥
• Meeting URLs are now even easier to remember with our simplified URL structure example: around.co/r/my-room
• Logged-in users will be able to access their lobby from around.co
• EchoTerminator has been renamed to Echo Prevention
• New users joining a room alone for the first time will now be able to experience the magic of Around with an immersive demo experience. Want to try it out? Just jump into a room by yourself, open the magic menu and click Experience Around in 45 seconds.
  
  

Fixes

Here are some of the highlights:

• Fixed an issue that could cause external cameras to show a zoomed-in, square image instead of the typical video circle
• Fixed an issue that could cause Boom Party to not show at full size
• Fixed an issue on macOS that could cause the window controls to not display
  
  

Until next year 🥂

What a year! We're so thankful for your continued support and look forward to making Around even better in the months and years to come.

That's all for now! Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say Привет. 👋

What’s New 🚨

Attendee List

We've heard from you that in larger meetings it can be difficult to quickly see who's in the room or interact with users when their video circle isn't being displayed.

With the new Attendee List, you can now see all meeting participants at a glance, along with their name, avatar, local time zone, and options for interaction (like Pin for me). The avatar of a user that is actively speaking is highlighted, just like their video circle.

To view Attendees, click the Attendee Count icon (e.g. 7/30) to toggle the list open. You'll be able to view Attendees in every mode except Floating Mode.

Global Shortcuts for Microphone and Camera

Need to quickly mute your microphone or toggle your camera off while working in another application? We've added Global Shortcuts for your mic and camera! 🎉

From the General tab of the Preferences panel ( ⌘ , ) scroll down to the Global Shortcut section to set your preferred shortcut for toggling your microphone and camera on or off.

Share System Audio (Beta)

Around's audio processing is optimized for voices, which is great for conversation, but can create unwanted distortion when other types of audio are shared.

With our Share System Audio feature, you can bypass our signal processing and send high quality audio from another device or application to everyone else in your meeting. Now you can DJ your next hangout or show up to your next standup with your electric guitar (we don't recommend this).

Click Vibes & Games → Share System Audio to get started. (This is a beta feature and will require installation of an audio plugin.)

Curve Fever

The next game in our roster is Curve Fever, where players try to survive the longest by avoiding the curves left behind by the other player's ships. It's the perfect game to give your mind a rest before jumping back into that big project. Enter the arena, meet your opponents and let the battle begin.

Note: More titles are coming in the future. Got a suggestion for a game you'd like to see? Let us know at community@around.co.

Quality and Performance Updates 🌟

Improvements

• We've added two new Icebreakers: 🎊 Confetti and 🎆 Fireworks
• Games can now be found in the Vibes & Games menu (previously called Music & Vibes). We've updated the toggle name to reflect this change.
• The user that starts a Vibe can now change Vibes without stopping the current one. Click the dropdown toggle next to the active Vibes & Games icon and click the title of the active Vibe to select a new one.

• In larger meetings, meeting participants that don't have a visible video circle will still have their GIF and emoji reactions appear to everyone in the new Reactions Feed. We're also working on ways to improve the experience for larger meetings in the future.
• A new campfire has roared to life in Campfire mode. Grab a friend – and maybe a few s'mores – and give it a try. 🔥
• For some Vibes the campfire has been replaced by a disco ball

• macOS Monterey users on a Mac with Apple silicon can add background blur to their video by using Portrait mode. To enable, open the Control Center in the menu bar, click Video Effects, then select Portrait below Around.

Many bugs related to performance, battery life, and memory usage have been stomped in this latest release.

What’s New 🚨

This latest release kicks off a new chapter for us at Around. In addition to improving our signature experience for video calls, we're also expanding our focus to include features that allow hybrid-remote teams to come together in different ways, whether it's co-working, happy hours, or recharge breaks. You can learn more about this in a note from our CEO.

Please give these new features a spin and let us know what you think. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us build a product that you'll continue to love far into the future. ❤️

• Happy Hour
  Want to add some color to your next team hang or co-working session? Take the experience to new heights with our Happy Hour feature. Click New Happy Hour from the Lobby, choose your desired Vibe (Synthwave? Chillhop? Night Drive?) and get launched into an immersive Campfire Mode experience that includes a curated selection of musical playlists and gorgeous visuals. Throw a few GIFs and emojis into the mix and you're off to the races. 🥳

• You can also add Vibes to your existing meeting! Just click the Music & Vibes toggle 🎵 in the top-right of the Around meeting window and choose your Vibe. The user that starts the Vibe will see a dropdown toggle next to the active Music & Vibes icon which allows them to adjust the music volume, navigate between tracks, and pause the current track.

• Games
  Need a break? We've got just the thing for a recharge. Head to the Lobby and click Play to jump into a quick multiplayer game. Just share the game link to invite others to join you.
  
  The first game in our roster is Boom Party, where the objective is to use dynamite to eradicate other players until you're the last one standing. Dynamite can also blast through walls so you can clear a path to other players more quickly. There are power-ups you can collect, which may help or hurt your chances of winning. 🧨
  
  Use the arrow keys to navigate and press the space bar to drop dynamite on the tile you’re standing on, but make sure to run away before it blows up and takes you out too. ☠
  
  Note: More titles are coming in the future. Got a suggestion for a game you'd like to see? Let us know at community@around.co.

• Icebreakers
  Did that presentation deserve a round of applause? Or cheering from the stands?
  
  In addition to reacting with GIFs and emojis, you can now respond with Icebreakers, which are short audio reactions that can be heard by everyone in the meeting. Open the reactions panel by pressing T and then select an icebreaker from the right-hand menu.
  
  Tip: As with many things in life, Icebreakers are most effective and enjoyable when done in moderation. 😉

• Browser Floating Mode + Video Modes
  Two of our signature features are now available directly from your browser, so guests can also enjoy the Around experience without downloading the app. 🎉
  
  Floating Mode hovers on your desktop and frees up your screen so you can easily get work done with others. Click the Floating Mode tab at the top of the window to pop your video out of your browser. Give it a try by switching tabs or using it on top of another application, like Google Docs or Figma.
  
  Video Modes (i.e. filters like Mai Tai or Gameboy) bathe you in liquid light and amp up the atmosphere to add energy to your sessions and get more done. Click in the center of your video circle to cycle through and find your favorite one.
  
  
• Notes Available on Mobile
  Our latest mobile release (1.3) for Android and iOS comes with Notes! You can now collaborate on Notes with your team right from your device. And at the end of the meeting, those notes are sent directly to your inbox. 💌

Quality and Performance Updates 🌟

As Around matures from beta to 1.0, we are extremely focused on product quality, including battery usage, performance, CPU and memory usage, network stability and support for all popular devices and browsers. Please help us continue to improve Around by letting us know if you’re experiencing any issues with quality and performance. You can email us at support@around.co.

Improvements

• EchoTerminator Updates
  As you may know, our EchoTerminator feature allows people in the same room with different devices to connect to the same meeting with all mics on and no echo. There's no need to keep yourself muted or any expensive A/V equipment required. It may not be magic, but it certainly feels like it.
  
  We are always working on new improvements to EchoTerminator. If you've tried it in the past and experienced issues, we'd love for you to take it for another spin. Thanks to your feedback (and a dash of coding magic), EchoTerminator users should now see better sync, as well as reduced CPU usage, battery consumption, and audio artifacts (i.e. unwanted hums or buzzing).
  
  Note: In order to work properly, all users in an EchoTerminator group must be using the desktop app.
  
  
• Want to quickly remove your video mode without the need to cycle to the beginning? Simply right-click on your video circle and press Remove Filter
• The Around Lobby has undergone a refresh to highlight our new Vibe and Play modes
• We've taken some our most popular features and made them available through Slash Commands. From the reactions panel (T), simply type / to see what commands are available. With these commands, you can instantly ignite a fire in Campfire Mode or shrink your Around window with Minimal Mode. And /party-parrot is a surefire way to get the party started. 🌈

Fixes

• Many creepy crawlies have been stomped in this latest release, including bugs relating to performance, battery life and memory usage.

Let us know what you think 💌

New features galore (and lots more to come)! Try a Happy Hour and play a couple rounds of Boom Party with your team, then go to your Lobby and click the Send feedback icon ✉️ to let us know what you think. Don't be afraid to creep it real with us (we had to add at least one Halloween pun, sorry).

And for inquiring minds, never fear, recording is still on the roadmap and on its way!

One more thing 🎉

To celebrate this release, we're selecting 5 people to receive the latest AirPods (3rd generation). All you have to do is take a photo or video of your team trying out one of our new features (Happy Hour/Vibes or Games) and post it to Twitter or LinkedIn (don't forget to tag us!). The deadline to enter is Tuesday, Oct 26 at 9 am PT.

That's all for now! Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say dia dhuit. 👋

What’s New 🚨

• Mobile Version 1.2 for iOS 🎉: Now with 100% more video! By popular demand, video is now available on our mobile app (👉download here), complete with our signature friendly circles, background cropping, colorful video modes, and Center Stage support on the latest iPad Pro. (Tip: Tap on your video circle to change the mode.)
  
  P.S. Video support for our Android friends is coming soon! 🤖

• Improved Screen Share Performance: We've heard from you that screen sharing can be particularly resource-intensive, spinning up computer fans and slowing down performance. So we've rewritten our screen sharing pipeline from scratch to bring you a higher quality, better performing screen share experience.

• Need to further reduce CPU usage during screen sharing? We automatically hide your personal Around interface for participants during screen sharing, however, we've now added the option to turn that off, which should free up some additional resources. You can do this by going to Preferences > Video and enabling Show my Around interface to viewers while screen sharing.

Improvements 🌟

• Non-face emoji reactions now sit in the bottom right of the video circle so they don't hide the participant's face
• We now prevent some animations from running when the window is blurred or hidden to reduce CPU usage
• Better annotation performance on retina displays

Fixes 🐛

Here are some of the highlights:

Windows

• Fixed an issue that caused a black square to appear under the Floating Mode window for some users
• Fixed an issue that could cause a shared screen to appear blank

macOS

• Fixed an issue that prevented a user's device from sleeping after using Around

What’s Coming 🚴‍♀️

As Around matures from beta to 1.0, we are now extremely focused on product quality, including battery usage, performance, CPU and memory usage, network stability and support for all popular devices and browsers.

In the short term, you can expect more improvements to Around's performance and quality. And for inquiring minds, never fear, recording is still on the roadmap and on its way!

That's all for now! Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say こんにちは. 😍

What’s New 🚨

• Vertical Floating Mode: And there was much rejoicing! You can now arrange your video circles vertically in addition to horizontally. Click the Floating Mode icon [B] to choose the layout that makes sense for how you work. Alternatively, while in Floating Mode, you can simply drag the window to the edge of the screen to switch layouts automatically.

• Annotations: Draw on and React to Screen Sharing: Another one of your most requested features is here! Enable drawing and emojis for everyone by toggling the corresponding buttons in the screen share toolbar. Now your team can give feedback on a design file or highlight areas they have questions about without interrupting the speaker. (P.S. It's also really fun.)

Note: This feature is only available when sharing the entire screen, not a specific window.

• Join Meetings in the browser now including Safari and Firefox: Guest Mode is now available on Safari and Firefox (in addition to Chrome and Edge). Once you share a meeting link with a guest, they'll have the option to join from the browser without needing to download the app.

Improvements 🌟

• You can now start a meeting in the browser directly from around.co by clicking Open Around in Browser

• Screen Sharing now shows 6 participant video circles (increased from 4)

• When a user shares another URL from the same domain, their thought bubble will now flash to indicate the url has changed. This prevents confusion when the url is truncated and only shows the site domain

• Minimal Mode toggle has been relocated to the bottom right of the Floating Mode window

Fixes 🐛

Here are some of the highlights:

Windows

• Fixed an issue that caused a black square to appear under the Floating Mode window for some users

What’s Coming 🚴‍♀️

Our string of greatest hits continues with more of your most requested features on the way. Later this year we'll be adding video for the mobile app!

That's all for now! Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say dobrý den. 😍

We're kicking off July with a list of requested improvements and fixes in preparation for a larger release coming soon.

Improvements 🌟

• Campfire for All: By popular demand, teams of any size (including teams of 1) can now ignite a roaring fire in Campfire Mode by clicking in the middle of the circular empty space a few times. We've also made the clickable area a bit bigger so it's easier to get your fire going. 🔥

• Join Meetings in Browser: We've updated the pre-meeting messaging, so joining an Around meeting is easier than ever for people outside of your team. Once you share a meeting link with a guest, they'll have an option to join from the browser without needing to download the app. We currently support Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, with Safari and Firefox coming soon.

Fixes 🐛

Here are some of the highlights:

General

• The Report an Issue dialog now loads properly
• Notifications now show on the active display instead of always on the right-most display
• Fixed a bug that prevented Copy Meeting Link from working while in Minimal Mode

macOS

• Re-ordered the Apple Touch Bar video filters

Android

• Fixed an issue where in-app notifications appeared in the middle of the screen

What’s Coming 🚴‍♀️

Later this year, we’ll be adding more of your top requests, including the ability to draw directly on a screen share and vertical floating mode.

That's all for now! Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say hallo. 😍

What’s New 🚨

• Mobile App (iOS and Android): The Around experience you know and love is now available on mobile! Take your brain for a walk and stay connected with your team on the go with our mobile app, an audio-only experience optimized for collaborative walking meetings. 🚶‍♀️☀️
  
  With the mobile app, you can join or start an Around call, instantly handoff from computer to phone (and back), react or respond to conversations with chat messages, GIFs and emojis, share images from your camera roll and view high-res screen shares.
  
  Just like our desktop app, we've baked in AI noise suppression, meaning others on the call should only be able to hear the crystal-clear sound of your lovely voice. Feel free to try it near planes, trains, and automobiles (and any other outside noises!), and let us know what you think.
  
  Visit around.co/download from your mobile device to download the app now.

• Linux App (Beta): Bring Around to your wonderful devs with our Linux app! A link to the public beta and all the information you need to get started can be found here 🐧.

• Handoff: This may sound familiar: you start a call on your laptop, but need to take the dog for a walk or run an errand. 🦮 By opening Around on another device and tapping Handoff, you can seamlessly transition your current call without interrupting the meeting. In addition to mobile, Handoff also works if you need to transition between computers or our web app.

• Voice Channels: Just like Around has different modes for different types of meetings, we also realize there are times when you don't need the added pressure of video on. That's why we built Voice Channels (formerly called Audio Rooms). These can be created directly from the lobby and have all the room features you love… but with 100% less video.

• Minimal Mode: For those moments when you need every inch – or pixel – of screen real estate. Click the Enter Minimal Mode icon in the top right corner of your app to instantly shrink Around to its smallest footprint yet.

• Native Menus: The Lobby and Room magic menus have been replaced with device-native menus that are no longer obscured by the height of the floating window. Bonus tip: The new menus are a great place to find all of Around's helpful shortcuts. 👋🏼

• Choose your filter from your Touch Bar (Mac): Looking for an easier way to change video filters? Quickly browse through and select your video filter right from the Apple Touch Bar by tapping the 🌈 emoji.

• Face Mask Mode: Be heard clearly even while wearing a mask! Click the audio dropdown and select Enable Face Mask Mode to immediately improve muffled speech, making it easier for others to understand what you're saying. ✨

• Add your team to multiple Rooms: Instead of having to add a team member to each room individually, you can now generate an invitation which will give them access to any rooms you choose. From the Lobby, click on your avatar and select Setup Your Team to get started.

Improvements 🌟

• Now everyone can see at least 10 people in Campfire Mode
• Increased screen sharing FPS when remote controlling screen
• Audio pipeline tweaks to enhance playback volume
• EchoTerminator improvements to mix participants with less distortion
• Reduced app launch time
• Updated chat UI to make it easier to read and copy messages
• Switch to Floating Mode when using other apps will now only transition to Floating Mode from Campfire Mode

Fixes 🐛

Here are some of the highlights:

General

• Fixed a bug where a user's video could "bleed" at different resolutions
• Fixed an issue where a user's circle could be shown multiple times

macOS

• Disconnecting a monitor while a new notification is present will no longer push it out of position
• Floating windows will now correctly appear over a full screen workspace in Split View
• Stopping screen sharing on Big Sur will no longer briefly flash a system notification

What’s Coming 🚴‍♀️

• Vertical floating mode (the ability to stack your video bubbles vertically instead of horizontally)
• Annotations (the ability to draw on the screen while someone else is in screen sharing mode)

Ping us at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say bonjour. 😍

Public Service Announcement: Don't forget to take a break today, whether that's going for a walk, enjoying nature, or being present. You deserve it. 🌏🧘

What’s New 🚨

• Floating mode on top of fullscreen apps (Mac): By popular request, you can now use Around’s floating mode on top of fullscreen apps in Mac.

• Hide self-view 2.0: Based on your feedback regarding our recent hide self-view feature, we’ve made some updates which will allow you to free up even more of your screen! With this new design for hiding self-view, we’ve significantly reduced the size of your video circle and placed it off to the side, while still allowing you to see your own reactions and thoughts. Right-click on your video circle and select “Hide self view” or press “V” to try it out.

• CPU and battery life enhancements: We’ve made multiple improvements to our audio DSP, resulting in significant improvements to battery life and CPU utilization.

• Alert sounds: You can now play a sound whenever someone joins a meeting. You can turn this on by going to your Lobby > Preferences > Audio > Play alert sounds.

• Updated audio settings during a call: You can now choose your mic and speaker, disable audio output and see other audio settings in your current call. Just click the dropdown next to your mic icon.

• Updated camera settings during a call: By clicking on the dropdown next to the camera icon, you can choose a webcam, enable/disable camera framing/face zoom, hide your self-view or see more settings.

• Redesigned preferences: We’ve completely updated our Preferences Menu in order to make all of our settings easier to find, which now includes:

  • Audio: Choose your mic and speaker input, as well as noise suppression level.

  • Video: You have the ability to choose your camera input, as well as disable camera framing/face zoom for all calls.

  • Account: Set your profile picture, personal information or add other sign-in methods.

• Improved video capturing performance on macOS

• Add fire to your Campfire Mode: What’s Campfire Mode without a proper campfire? If you have 5+ participants in Campfire Mode, now you can just click in the middle of the circular empty space a few times to ignite a roaring fire. The more you click, the bigger it grows. But keep in mind: just like a real fire, you have to keep feeding it or else it’ll burn out. (You may have to click around a few times, but you'll find it eventually!) 🔥

Fixes 🐛

Here are some of the highlights:

General

• Made some improvements to app loading time
• Anyone will now be able to delete a shared image (instead of just the owner)
• Fixed bug where you couldn’t see someone’s cursor while they were screensharing
• Fixed issue where clicking hyperlinks in Notes didn’t work
• Continued improvements to one-click links
• Fixed bugs with sizing of GIFs and thoughts

• Mobile app for Android and iOS
• Linux app
• Vertical floating mode (the ability to stack your video bubbles vertically instead of horizontally)

Give us a shout at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say hola. 😍

What's New 🚨

• Google Calendar integration: We've made it easier to schedule meetings in Around! With our Google Calendar integration, you can now add your Around link to Google Calendar events with one click. Choose between a one-off meeting link or a specific room (e.g. "Manik's Party Planning Committee"). You can install the integration from your Around lobby or the Google Workspace Marketplace.

• Hide self-view: We've added the ability to hide your own self-view, which can further reduce the fatigue associated with seeing yourself in video calls all the time. Turn this on by right-clicking on your own video > Hide self-view or by using the shortcut [V].

• Slack Team Room (beta): Instead of having to add members to your team room individually, we've auto-generated a room that anyone in your Slack workspace with the Around integration has access to (you'll recognize it by the little Slack icon). Great for daily stand-ups or all-hands!

For example, this is what it might look like for our friends at basement.studio 👇

Note: for existing teams, someone will have to reinstall the Slack extension and then the Slack team room will show up in everyone's lobby.

• CPU performance improvements: We've made significant performance improvements, reducing CPU by as much as 20%. 🏃‍♀️

• Pin specific people: Interested in keeping an eye on specific people's reactions while screensharing? You can do this by right-clicking on their bubble > Pin for me.

• In-app notifications whenever someone joins/leaves a call or changes their mic/camera
• End an ongoing meeting from the lobby as a room admin
• Screensharing on Windows: We've added a yellow border so you know exactly what's being shared, in addition to removing the infamous black box that previously showed up as the Around overlay ◼️🙅
• Using Around with our Slack integration? Be the envy of all your teammates with a crystal ball as your call icon 📞→ 🔮

Fixes 🐛

Drop us a line at support@around.co if you run into any issues or just want to say hi. 😍

New

We're excited to share that Around for macOS now supports the M1 chip natively. We have observed a much smoother frame rate for video and animations, as well as about 30% less CPU usage in various situations.

All users on M1 devices should have received the update automatically. You can confirm you are running Around on the Apple architecture by opening the Activity Monitor and checking the "Architecture" column.

Need to download the app manually? Click here. Note: Our installer automatically chooses the best architecture for you (Intel or Apple).

As always, keep us posted if you run into any issues! Drop us a line: support@around.co.
