Remotely - Avatar-based social hub with meetings, games & activities

@samuel_merin great question. We’ve set up some really helpful game tutorials to get you started. These show you how to start the game, score points and give you a few tips on strategy. Join our Discord or visit our Youtube channel for more tips. There are a few ways to invite others, each starts with your unique space or URL. Once you’ve created a space (or entered a game) simply copy the URL and 1) paste it into your chat or calendar and invite others. 2) Use our ‘add people’ function to email an invite. And you're good to go! Your scores are automatically posted to our leaderboard!

@gene_harris Thank you, this will make my job easier

@ds_fam my pleasure. If you ever run into any tech issues or something doesn't work the way it's supposed to please contact us through Discord.

@ds_fam Hi Darshi, that's a great question. In the bottom left corner you have a settings menu, you may turn music and sound FX off there. Something the team at Remotely likes to do occasionally is turn on Spotify or Soundcloud and stream it through into the Remotely environment....instant dance party 💃🕺

@ds_fam that sounds like a great way to wrap up a week together as a team.

@ds_fam You can't directly change the music but you can adjust the settings from the bottom left settings button.

@gene_harris sounds fun

@mitchell_bassett nice

@ds_fam we currently have a couple more in the pipeline for release this year, then more are coming through early next year.

@mitchell_bassett Very nice, I really enjoy the team games

@ds_fam Hi Darshi, we have the three games currently. Forest Feud, Quiz Royal and Freeform Chess. But we also have two new original games that we are working on. We're really excited to show everyone these games.

@ds_fam there's a very, very special game coming out next, as a collaboration project with a Global studio : )

@gene_harris yay can’t wait

@brad_sonny_talbz great question! At Remotely we feel that there are thousands of productivity tools in the marketplace already. The Remotely Hub is a social tool. This is more about coming together for digital watercooler moments to focus on relationship building and communication. Although you can hold virtual conferences in Remotely. It doesn’t replace tools like Zoom or Google Hangouts, but rather fills the social tool gap that most remote teams have. Every now and then it’s nice to break the monotony of back-to-back Zoom calls or simply re-energize the team with a team puzzle or game. Over time Remotely will build more original games, content and experiences and offer endless team fun and activities.

@gene_harris i love the digital watercooler moments. I'll go check it out. thanks man!

@brad_sonny_talbz fantastic! Please let us know what you think of the platform and the games! 😊

@russel_baoy1 Nice one Russel! Thanks for all your support to get us ready for launch! Love your work 💓

@russel_baoy1 Cheers Russel!

@mitchell_bassett thanks to you as well Mitch! A full team effort.

@matthew_bowen, @bronson_bradley giving you guys a shout out too. ✌️

@genosog Fantastic, please let us know what your team have to say.

@genosog thank you for checking Remotely out! For game strategy tips to reach the top of the global leaderboard please also visit our Discord https://discord.com/invite/bV65E... 🎲🧠

@genosog Let's go! Thank you for the support :)

@russel_baoy1 Of course!

@gene_harris Thanks for the link

@hear_me_roar_kids thank you for those awesome suggestions! Over time Remotely will be adding more content, which will include more avatar types as well as costumes. We'll have to write these ideas down though, they are excellent!

@hear_me_roar_kids You and me both. I love how much customisation and expression is available out of the box. It really makes sense for what the platform is trying to achieve.

@matthew_bowen yeah I'm really enjoying the non human avatars. Sometimes I feel like a break from reality and this seems like a novel way to do that.

@boris_cuevas Thanks for your interest in Remotely Boris. It comes down to the individual team culture. Some of the teams we've observed kick the week off with a quick game or use their lunch to hang out and perhaps play, whilst others use it exclusively on a Friday afternoon. What is clear for us, is that structured and repeated games help the team to bond and improve communication. Our advice is ask your team how they'd like to play, try it out and get more feedback from them.

@boris_cuevas Hello Boris, its been really interesting to see how teams are utilising the platform and how and when they play games. We definitely see a peak on Mondays and Fridays, where teams start and finish the week with a team social event. Likewise, the meeting rooms and interactable's are used all week long. Of course, some teams play games much more often.

@boris_cuevas We use the platform every day for our general standups and end of week team catch ups. We have some teams who use both, some who play more games during the week, others who host meetings and lectures. It's really up to the team how they might set up their team's day.

@mitchell_bassett thank you!!!

@adam_berry2 oh wow! Thanks !

@ds_fam Hi Darshi, thanks for your interest in Remotely. Our games are designed for 4-12 players and our meeting spaces currently have an upper limit of 15 users. We're currently on larger player games and pushing the upper limit of our meeting rooms for more users. This being said, we find that users tend to bond better with a group of 4-8.

@gene_harris That’s perfect for my team.

@ds_fam That's great, we really appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback. The team at Remotely is always listening and we value every users experience.

@ds_fam For the free tier there's a limit of 5 users, but you can use all the features of the platform with those 5 users
