Connect with great people in our fun virtual world.

Attend the Race to Alaska Movie Premiere with us.
Saturday September 12, from 6pm. We can't be in the same room together to watch the screening, but we can still watch it together!
You're invite to our virtual Cowork hangout space. It's like being in an old-school video game, with the added bonus of video chatting with those who are nearby. Join the conversation, or split off with some folks into your own - just by walking away a few steps. |

The movie starts at 7pm, but come early to hang out and get used to the virtual world.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Grab your laptop or get comfy at your desktop (mobile devices don't work as well) 2. Approve the app to use your mic & video 3. Add your real name underneath your video feed. 4. Then, head out and explore! |

Visit this sample room if you want to test the tool out in advance. There probably won't be anyone else in there, but you can still see how the platform works.

TIPS:
- A headset with microphone works really well
- It works best if each person has their own computer (that way,one avatar = one person)
- Sitting side by side in a room, on your own laptops can cause audio feedback. It's best if you head to separate rooms.
- As you approach another avatar, their video & audio feed will fade in.
- Some seating areas are marked as 'private spaces' which allow for conversations among a small group of people. If a small coloured circle appears below your avatar, you are on a private space and will only be able to communicate with people who are on nearby circles of the same colour.
- Some items are interactive and when you are nearby, instructions will appear just above the tool bar at the bottom centre of your screen
- There are a number of customizations you can set, using the toolbar at the bottom centre of your screen. The concentric circles (second from left) will reduce the radius of your interaction bubble which is helpful if you are experiencing lag issues
- When it comes time to watch the movie, head to the screening room and when the movie starts, you can use 'x' on your keyboard to go to fullscreen. You can toggle the mte button on/off in the centre of the screen. It should disappear after you move your cursor off the screen. Volume is managed using your own computer's volume controls.
