Never miss important moments in the office while using the Gather Desktop App. Desktop notifications give you real-time updates about chat messages and calendar events so you can easily reply or jump back into your office. 

The desktop notifications you can receive include:

• Meeting reminders. If you’ve connected your Google Calendar and have an event starting soon.
• Chat messages. You can either click the notification to view the Chat message in Gather or reply to the message directly via the notification.
• Requests to follow, lead, or join. Clicking the notification will open the Gather app so you can walk with your colleague or walk to their conversation.
• Ring notifications. Never miss the chance to connect when someone is Ringing your avatar.
• Space capacity notices. Admins will be notified when your Space has reached capacity and if anyone is prevented from joining the Space due to that limit.
