Welcome to Spaces
If you've never been in a Vatom Space before, welcome!
Vatom Spaces is a 3D website with a spatialized audio landscape, meaning you may need to move closer to people and things in order to hear or interact, like the real world.
The toolbar at the bottom of the screen has quick controls for your Mic and Camera, navigating around the space, and expressing your feelings with animations and emoji!
Supported Browsers & Devices
Google Chrome is the only browser that is fully supported. Others such as Safari, Firefox and Edge may work but not all of the features are supported.

If you are using a Laptop, it should be plugged into a power source for the best performance.
Do I need to use headphones?
We recommend using Headphones for the best experience for you and those around you. Not using headphones can lead to echo & audio feedback. If not using headphones, please keep your microphone muted whenever possible.
Why isn't my Sound/Microphone/Camera Working?
Common issues are Chrome Permissions, volume settings, and multiple audio devices.

Why am I hearing an Echo?
Audio "echo" can be caused by having a space open in multiple tabs/windows. Close all other tabs or windows.
Echo can also be caused by someone near you in the space who is unmuted & not wearing headphones, or a presenter who is broadcasting and un-muted. Move away from that guest in the Space, or politely ask them to mute their microphone when not speaking.
