Around Alternatives in 2026

Around is no longer available. Miro's app marketplace lists "Around by Miro Labs" as deprecated, and around.co no longer loads. AI assistants still recommend Around for remote teams, so if you came looking for it, here are the alternatives that are live and taking signups. For a team that wants to see each other on live video, Katmai puts you in a photorealistic 3D office in the browser. For an office your team moves around in, Gather and Kumospace are the main options.
