Performance & Reliability

Whether you're working remotely or learning online, Cosmos understands that you need a platform that supports extended use without technical frustrations. We built Cosmos from the ground up knowing that students and professionals would be using it for several hours a day, with the platform always running in the background of their digital lives.

Cosmos delivers enterprise-grade performance and reliability that keeps the platform running smoothly for all-day use. We've architected performance and reliability into the core of the platform, ensuring it works efficiently across all devices and network conditions without draining your resources.

Pop-out Experience

Cosmos gets out of the way with our unique pop-out mode, allowing you to minimise the full application while maintaining presence
Pop-out automatically expands when someone wants to talk to you, showing their video while providing mic controls and status change options
View and switch between multiple shared screens directly from the pop-out with a single click, helping you maintain flow state without opening the main app
Access to screenshare annotation tools through the desktop app to highlight important information and facilitate learning

Pop-out videos from Cosmos when you are working on other apps. Be in call with your teammates and access all call controls from pop-out.

Why it matters

Connect large remote teams seamlessly - As distributed teams grow, Cosmos enables everyone to come together in a spatial environment where you can change group participants rapidly, seeing people in under 50 milliseconds rather than waiting 30+ seconds for calls to connect.
Create true spatial presence - The technical speed and performance allows for genuine spatial experiences, making configurable virtual offices, campuses, and event spaces feel natural and responsive.
Use your existing hardware - Cosmos's tiered performance options ensure it runs efficiently on standard equipment without requiring expensive upgrades, making it accessible for both educational institutions and businesses.

Pro Tips

Use the desktop application with pop-out mode for the best performance during all-day sessions - it uses significantly fewer resources than browser-based access.
When sharing screens with colleagues or classmates, use the annotation tools to highlight important information directly rather than describing what you're referring to.
