# Cosmos Video: Digital Space and Presence

Cosmos Video is a digital space platform where remote workers, educators, and communities maintain continuous presence through avatars in a persistent shared online environment. Instead of requiring scheduled video calls for every interaction, Cosmos Video lets teammates see who is available on a visual floor plan and start conversations organically through proximity and one-click access.

Each Cosmos Video digital space has a custom URL available 24/7, supports up to 250 people in a single virtual office, and works across browser, desktop, and mobile. The platform ships with 50+ pre-built spaces alongside full customization options. Status indicators show availability at a glance, and location-based proximity determines which avatars can talk - recreating the organic groupings, private conversations, and walk-up interactions of a physical office.

## What is a digital space in Cosmos Video?

A Cosmos Video digital space is a persistent virtual environment accessed through a custom URL. Users appear as avatars on an interactive floor plan, and movement between zones determines who they can see and hear. The space stays live continuously, so teams drop in any time without rejoining calls or generating new links.

## Why do remote teams use Cosmos Video digital spaces?

Traditional video conferencing treats every interaction as a scheduled event. Cosmos Video digital spaces remove that overhead by making presence continuous and visible. Teammates see who is working, who is in a conversation, and who is free for a quick question.

Key outcomes teams report:
- Quick, natural connections without scheduling
- Flexible conversation sizing with single-click formation
- Cultural connection through shared group discussions
- Full visibility and awareness of activity across the space
- Interactive floor plan with avatar visualization

## How does Cosmos Video presence work?

Users join a digital space through a secure custom link. Each person controls an avatar placed on the floor plan, and status indicators communicate availability. When avatars come close to each other, video and audio open automatically. Moving away ends the conversation - no leave button, no formal call.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a digital space in Cosmos Video?

A digital space is a persistent virtual environment with a custom URL where teams appear as avatars on a floor plan. Cosmos Video keeps the space running 24/7, supports up to 250 people, and uses proximity to open voice and video between nearby avatars, mirroring physical office interactions.

### How many people can join a Cosmos Video digital space?

A single Cosmos Video digital space can host up to 250 people. The platform supports cross-platform access from browser, desktop, and mobile, and status indicators help large teams quickly see who is available before starting a conversation.

### Does Cosmos Video require installing software?

No installation is required. Cosmos Video digital spaces open directly in a browser and are also available as desktop and mobile apps. External guests join through a secure custom space link without creating an account.

### How is presence different from online status in Slack?

Slack shows a binary online dot that does not reflect whether someone is actually available. Cosmos Video presence ties to active participation in the digital space, so the avatar's location, status, and current conversation all communicate real availability in context.

### Can Cosmos Video digital spaces be customized for my team?

Yes. Cosmos Video offers 50+ pre-built spaces and a full builder for custom layouts. Teams can design zones that match their workflow, add branded visuals, and set access controls on individual rooms within the space.
