Around offers a unique, camera-first video conferencing experience designed to minimize distraction and maximize engagement for remote teams.

Try it out

Around is a video conferencing tool that focuses on creating a more natural and less fatiguing remote meeting experience. It achieves this through AI-powered framing that keeps participants centered, removes backgrounds automatically, and actively suppresses noise, allowing for more productive collaboration. The 'bubble' interface frees up screen space, making it easier to multitask and share content without the typical video call clutter. Designed for remote teams, it aims to reduce 'Zoom fatigue' and foster more dynamic interactions.
