Best Practices for the Gather Environment
Have questions or need to troubleshoot? Visit the official Gather Help Page at any time!
Note! Your Gather display name can say anything you want, but we encourage you to use your first and last name (so others can identify you) and include your pronouns if you are comfortable doing so (so others know how to refer to you). For example: Greg Schmidt (he/him). To reduce screen clutter, we encourage using the Text Status field (Bottom menu → click on name → Add text status) to include your affiliation and any other information (e.g., name pronunciation guidance, job-seeking status, etc.)”
Network Connectivity & Audio/Video Considerations
For an optimal experience,
- Turn off any VPN connections
- Use Google Chrome or Firefox
- Make sure to allow Gather microphone and camera permissions
- Headphones are recommended, particularaly if you are in a noisy environment
- Review our common audio/video recommendations
