How to work comfortably, visibly, and naturally in Katmai.

Katmai is your office.

It’s where your team shows up when work needs to happen.

This guide explains how to use Katmai day to day, how to stay connected without being interrupted, and how to work naturally in a shared space.

 

 

Start with the Right Mindset

Katmai works best when you treat it like a real office.

That means:

  • You don’t need a meeting to talk to someone
  • If someone is there, you can walk over
  • Being present doesn’t mean being “on” all the time

You can focus, move around, and connect as needed.

 

Being in the Office

When you’re in Katmai, you’re visible to your team.

That visibility helps others:

  • Know when you’re around
  • Decide whether to walk over
  • Start conversations without interrupting you

You don’t need to speak or be on camera to be present.

 

Moving and Interacting

Use Katmai the way you’d use a physical office.

  • Walk over to someone to talk
  • Join a room when a conversation starts
  • Pull someone in for a quick question
  • Leave when you’re done

If someone is in the space, conversation is immediate.

 

Conversations vs Meetings

Not everything needs a meeting.

In Katmai:

  • Quick questions happen on the spot
  • Small discussions form naturally
  • Meetings happen when structure is needed
If a conversation grows, you can turn it into a meeting without switching tools.

 

 

Managing Availability

You control how visible and reachable you are.

  • Mute your mic or turn off your camera
  • Step into a private space for focus
  • Close your door when you don’t want interruptions

Your team can see your availability without messaging you.

 

 

Working Quietly Together

Some of the best work happens quietly.

In Katmai, you can:

  • Work independently while staying nearby
  • Feel part of the team without talking
  • Join conversations when they’re useful
Presence doesn’t require constant interaction.

 

 

Inviting Others

Your team will invite guests when needed.

  • External guests join using Link To Me
  • Guests don’t need an account
  • They appear in the lobby and wait to be let in
This keeps your office secure while making it easy to collaborate.

 

 

What Success Feels Like

When Katmai is working well, you’ll notice:

  • Fewer meetings
  • Faster answers
  • Less back-and-forth messaging
  • More natural collaboration

Work feels calmer, more connected, and more human.

 

 

Need Help?

If something feels confusing or awkward, that’s normal at first.

Give it time. Spend time in the office.

Most teams find their rhythm quickly once they stop overthinking it.
