flat.social is a spatial-audio virtual space platform for remote teams and events. Free for up to 5 people, or from $5 per seat/month. See features and plans.
flat.social is a virtual space platform, founded in London in 2021, designed to replace traditional grid-based video calls with an explorable, map-like environment. Instead of everyone appearing in a fixed video tile, participants control an avatar that can walk around a virtual room, and audio automatically becomes clearer as avatars move closer together.
The idea is to recreate the incidental, spontaneous interactions of a physical office or event floor, bumping into a colleague near the coffee machine, or drifting between conversation clusters at a conference, inside a browser tab that requires no software installation.
The platform's spatial audio and video system is its defining feature: conversations happen naturally between whoever's avatars are near each other, and groups form and dissolve as people move, rather than through structured breakout rooms alone, though breakout rooms are also available. Rooms are customizable, with templates and the ability to design a space's layout and look.
flat.social also includes built-in games and activities aimed at team socials and events, and organizers can set up a session in under a minute without requiring attendees to install any software, since everything runs in the browser.
flat.social offers a free tier supporting up to 5 people at once with unlimited session length, spatial audio and video, and an embeddable widget for a company's own site. Paid usage moves to a per-seat Monthly plan priced at $5 per seat per month, with a minimum of 10 seats and a maximum of 100, which adds attendance analytics, the ability to remove flat.social branding, role-based access control, and priority support.
For one-off gatherings rather than ongoing use, flat.social also offers a Day Pass at $2 per seat for a single 24-hour period, again with a 10-100 seat range, that can be cancelled for free up until 24 hours before the event. Larger deployments beyond 100 seats require contacting the company directly.
