At Katmai, we’re committed to improving how teams collaborate, communicate, and connect. Today, we’re excited to share several updates that are designed to make your experience faster, smoother, and more intuitive. Whether you’re new to Katmai or an active user, these features will help your team collaborate more seamlessly and effectively.
Check out this video summarizing these new features:
LINK TO ME: Say Goodbye to Meeting Setup Hassles
With Link To Me, you can now send a magic link to anyone—whether they’re in Katmai or not—and have them instantly join your meeting, in meeting mode. This is perfect for meetings with teammates or guests that aren’t in the virtual office, and just want to join that meeting.
Here’s how it works:
Send your link to anyone via any platform (email, slack, text, etc).
They click the link and wait in a 2D lobby, and you’ll be alerted.
You admit them into your space, where they’ll spawn directly across from you, ready to collaborate.
This no-fuss solution optimizes for speed and simplicity, eliminates the need for structured invites, and ensures your meetings start quickly and smoothly—giving you more time to focus on what matters.
INSTANT KATMAI: A 3D Meeting Room for Every Team Member
One of the core goals of Katmai is to make meetings feel more engaging and dynamic. With Instant Katmai, we’ve made it easier than ever to transform any meeting into an immersive, branded collaboration.
Each member of your team now has their own 3D meeting room, just like they’re used to with Zoom or Teams, but with the added benefit of being inside Katmai’s unique 3D environment, branded to your company. This new feature makes your virtual meetings more than just video calls—it turns them into real collaborative spaces.
All the other video meeting apps will suddenly seem like dinosaurs when you try Instant Katmai. Host your next video conference in a branded, 3D immersive space that’s accessible with just one click. (And next time you meet with that same group, bring them into your Virtual Office to further blow their minds.)
SCREEN SHARE UPGRADE: Smarter, Smoother Collaboration
We know that sharing screens is one of the most important aspects of collaboration, but we also know it’s often clunky or difficult to manage. With this release, Katmai’s new Screen Share functionality is the smartest, most robust and intuitive screen share feature in the market today.
Here’s how it works:
When someone shares their screen, it will automatically pop up for you, allowing you to see both the content and the participants at the same time.
You can double-click the screen to enlarge it or pop it out into a new window for a more focused view.
You can even toggle between multiple screens, making it easy to keep track of different conversations and data points without missing a beat.
These upgrades make it easier than ever to collaborate, allowing you to focus on the task at hand rather than struggling with cumbersome screen-sharing setups.
AUTOMATIC MEETING MODE: Seamless Collaboration, Every Time
When you step into a conference room, office, or even a pod, Automatic Meeting Mode will immediately adjust your view to ensure everyone is sitting in an optimal position.
And by user request, when you enter an office by yourself, you’ll automatically be placed behind the desk with a full view of the rest of your space and team members. When someone joins you, they’ll be shuttled right in front of you, ready for a focused meeting. No clicks, no fuss—just seamless collaboration.
