SpatialChat Reviews & Product Details

I truly enjoy its use, really dynamic and fresh, making your meetings fun and innovative (people do get surprised when they find out about it) and virtual co-working satisfactory.

At the beginning (more than a year ago) there were some flaws and missing functionalities, but, currently, they are solved and I find nothing to complain about...

When pandemic restrictions appeared out of the blue, SpatialChat allowed me to keep working in a virtual customized office with my colleagues, enjoying music, conversations and fluidity in reaching everyone. It also supposed a fresh tool to construct webinars for example.

Easy to log in, people can move around without using a keyboard so it's very suitable for low-tech groups.

in Windows, we need to leave the meeting before entering SpatialChat. Admin should be able to manage guests in the room eg. remove them from the room since many people just enter the space and leave their avatar bubble in the room but not using it.

People feel like they are in a real event since they need to move around to talk to others.

Flexibility for your conversations, being able to roam around freely, several rooms available for different purposes! Our peers really enjoyed being able to have more private conversations while still being able to see eachother

Streaming videos isn't working properly, so if you want to livestream something, so far we havent made the best experiences with it. Also, phone users have more trouble using it.

When using other video tools, conversation is a little difficult - you do not want to interrupt someone else, so conversations are less flowing. SpatialChat really helps with that problem and gives us a chance to stay in touch with our members and have them confidently converse with eachother

Ability to chat with others, create different rooms, and chat.

Some mics were not able to connect. Wish there was private messaging.

Connecting people on our team in a fun format and connecting people in different time zones together. There can be fun ways to have meetings.

It was easy for the admin to create rooms for networking and poster session. Able to have multiple conversations ongoing within a single room. The platform was fun to use and intuitive.

Some people found networking difficult due to needing to sit at their computers during breaks. In-person meetings allow people to move around during breaks and network. However, this cannot be avoided when using virtual platforms for meetings.

We used SpatialChat for networking and poster session during our 2-day consortium meeting. People enjoyed the creative spaces for networking. SpatialChat enabled us to have more poster presenters than at previous virtual meetings.

It's good if you need a spatial voice chat that works well on Mobile or Desktop. I found the video and sound to be relatively reliable. The team is also quite responsive to answering all of your questions. I like the megaphone feature, as well as the ability to broadcast across different rooms. It's great if you want something for open and free networking.

It can be hard to find yourself in the room with your video and mic off since they shrink your avatar. And it can be tricky to onboard people to this type of experience if they are used to using Zoom. I would also liked to see some kind of locked table feature. Let's see if they come up with something soon.

Like I said before, it's good for open networking and taking people on more of an adventure.

It is a very flexible platform to communicate as the exactly in-person event! If you want to speak with others, you can move your avatar to others to chat with, or say hi, or even type in the chatting. As an organizer, you don't need to speak all the time to facilitate the conversation where all the people are stuck in the same room (like ZOOM or other video chatting platforms), but the audiences can enjoy their own time. And there are tons of ideas that you can apply for your networking event with games, speed dating as well. And plus, they oraganize every week's lecture on Spatialchat to give you ideas on how to use or emphasize this system.

This is something that they have been already working on according to the Spatialchat team, regarding chatting in Japan is not suitable to the current chatting system. Japanese typing usually contains four different types of characters. Kanji (Chinese character), Hiragana, Katakana, and alphabet. And it takes to convert into each character before you send it out, but with the current chatting system you can't convert to other characters. They just let you send whenever you type there. It won't be a killing problem, but it would be great if you could update the system soon while you are saying this is a multilingual platform.

Under the pandemic circumstances, a lot of companies, or organizers were/are trying to find solutions to have "real" communications with others or within their organization. Same as ours, our film festival was also looking for a platform where participants can talk to others IF they want to, or where you don't need to listen to everyone's talk while you are in the same room. SpatialChat brought us a big win with our film festival.

Spatial chat provides an engaging virtual meeting experience. The ability of groups to share and speak to each other and move between groups seems superior to "breakout rooms".

I really like SpatialChat, but it is outside of LMS (Bb) so it requires students to click on another link to get there. However, it is easy to share my meeting room link and it is easy for students to enter.

It provides a virtual collaborative learning space that is more engaging and gives a greater sense of presence in the classroom. It more realistically simulates being in the science laboratory and working with partners at the same table.

Other than life meetings, this is as close to a personal meeting as possible. The fact that you can add a photo of yourself, modify the background or rooms and create hang out areas with soft music is fantastic.

Some functionality within the different rooms could not be adjusted. Such as the background music or the volume at which it was playing. They said they were working on adding that option, though.

This is a way better virtual meeting option than the likes of Zoom and such. It's more versatile and interactive and our members hunanimously agreed with that.

I like the intuitive design, making more natural interaction settings possible

Still online, and is yet another platform or tool for people to understand and master. Not much french adaptation possible either.

Online team brainstorms, informal reunions

I like the visual representation of a virtual workspace. It's easy to see in a second who's here, who's available to chat.

Some of my colleagues have audio issues, it also lacks of some useful keyboard shortcuts.

It avoids the silo we had in zoom. People can share the same visual workspace but the sound is only limited to local members. It's then possible to have several discussions at the same time without disturbances. It's also very easy to initiate discussions with other teams just by moving the avatar close to them.

Different from zoom, more interactive and has some easy customization

The fact that there is no recording and transcripts integrated

We experimented with new ways of having arts administration conferences, having scholars and students connect and network

The interaction options available are better than other mediums. It is as close to an in-person experience as it can get.

I haven't faced many issues yet using SpatialChat, but I have heard from my colleague that there is scope for improvement in the analytics aspect.

We can connect remotely with different stakeholders, easing out our day-to-day operations.

I think this was the most natural digital networking platform that we have worked with and our customers loved it

Lack of analytics and cannot get leads for sponsors

Natural networking in a digital environment
