I would love to try this but I use focusmate mostly to well… Stay focused… I really don’t see the point of co-working if I can’t share my screen? Is that sort of thing possible on Gather town? Because last time I checked (more than a year ago) it was not.
You can share screen on gathertown (I think I managed to do it before.) However, it seems like in the current gathertown setup (the way the desks are arranged and where videos can be streamed), I haven’t really found a way to see other people’s videos while working in the desk working area, though you can work in other areas and maybe see nearby people’s videos.
I do have a shameless plug to the EA coworking discord server though: https://discord.gg/5FGY4PyEcT where you can share screen! :)
Can confirm Gathertown allows screensharing—I’m doing it as I type - and we’ve actually just been setting up some of the desk pods to allow communication with other people in the same pod (you can also cluster round the same desk, though that does feel a bit cramped for more than two).
Btw, I’m hoping that the Discord and Gather servers will have a positive sum effect where they link to each other and collaboratively increase the number of EAs who get into online coworking. We’ve placed a prominent link to the Discord server near the entrance to the Gather space :)
