What's new in Cosmos Video

🌐 We've launched integrated apps

Walk up to any work table in Cosmos and press 'X' to access integrated apps. Collaborate with your teammates on the best apps for work: Google Docs, Miro, Figma and more. All from within Cosmos.

🤩 The Games Table is here

You no longer have to choose between pong or pictionary in your office. Walk up to a game table, and choose from one of the 15 games you'd like to play.

🤫 You can now whisper to someone

Hover your cursor over someone's video tile to whisper to them. You'll be in a one-to-one chat with them, and no one around you will be able to overhear.

You can now receive notifications from Cosmos on your browser or Slack.

On Slack

Set up a public channel to get a notification when someone enters your Cosmos office (only venue admins can set this up).

Invite colleagues who are offline to talk to you on Cosmos. They'll get a DM in Slack and can join with a single click.

Brand new world

We've redesigned Cosmos from scratch, and it looks amazing 🤩

Adorable avatars

To go with the new look of Cosmos, we've launched a range of avatars. Did someone say cuteness overload? More avatars coming soon.

Globally scaled video platform

We've developed video tech that works for users across the world. You should notice snappier videos and less delay when using Cosmos. Cosmos is for everyone 🤗

Introducing gallery view

Switch to gallery view to see more people and focus on the conversation.

Introducing meeting rooms for you to see everyone

Walk into meeting rooms for a meeting. Everyone inside the area will be in the same conversation, and no one outside will be able to hear you.

New avatars

We heard you wanted more choices in avatars — here are 24 new ones 🤩 More are on the way.

Under-the-hood features

• Smoother movement of avatars on the map
• Video reconnects automatically if you change your wifi network or switch on VPN
• Default to your laptop mic and speakers when your Bluetooth headset runs out of battery

🕵️‍♂️ It's now easier to find people

You can now see everyone's location in the participant's tab, making it easier to find (or avoid) other people in an office.

Work hard, play hard — two new games

• Pong 🏓 — an old arcade classic
• Navy Wars 🚢 — sink your opponent's fleet before they sink yours

Cosmos now works on Safari too

New office maps

Select the office map that's best for your team. Offices are of different sizes and have different vibes. One even has secret tunnels 🤫

Two more games for your office socials

• Who Said It Best — Who can come up with the most fun answer to "What is the best thing to use when you're out of toilet paper?" or "What killed the dinosaurs?"
• Cosmos Art — Guess what others have drawn, and find the artist in your team

Names above avatars

It's now easier to find your colleagues and avoid some 😛 while walking around the office.
