Cosmos is a meetings tool designed for remote teams. All meetings across your team happen on a single link allowing you to create visibility in your organization. Express your personality, hangout and have fun in an immersive virtual world.
My remote team has been using Cosmos for over 3 months now. Everyone loves it, it is the new favourite for ones who like working together in a sync with other teammates. The game desk too, made its way to a dedicated hour every Friday!
@rogrenke Hi Roland, thank you for the kind words! π Please let me know if we can help you in any way with setting up an office for your remote team π Would love to know if you have any feedback or feature requests which will help Cosmos better serve you
@rogrenke Thanks for the support Roland! π We would love to have you and your team onboard Cosmos. Please let us know if we can help with anything. :)
@indranil_dasgupta we arrange an event about Work-Life Balance, and how instrument and metodology can help the smartworking. It is in italian language, but next time we want you with us.
Hey ProductHunt π! Weβre @karan_baweja1 and @rahul_goyal, co-founders of Cosmos Video.
Weβve been building Cosmos over the last 18 months - we launched on Product Hunt last year, had a very positive response, and received super valuable feedback from the community here.
We are back with Cosmos 3.0 - the meetings tool designed for remote teams. Itβs a culmination of what weβve learnt from 100+ teams that use us regularly.
So, what problems are remote teams facing?
- Meetings across the org happen on separate links, and itβs hard to maintain context across teams
- Meetings on Zoom, Meets are too agenda based
- Asking a question requires painful back and forth scheduling
- Zoom fatigue is real
How is Cosmos fixing them?
β¨ All your teamβs meetings and collaborative work sessions can happen on a single link
Set conversation topics and record meetings to let others in the team know whatβs being discussed.
π Real world interactions are replicated
In Cosmos, break into smaller groups after meetings, and have casual conversations without a timer.
π¨βπ¨βπ¦βπ¦ You can be together with your team from anywhere in your Cosmos office
Your teammates can simply walk up to you to have a conversation without needing to schedule a meeting.
π Hang out in an immersive world, and have conversations in a less taxing environment
Express your personality through your avatar, pets and reactions.
Cosmos works across platforms - android and iOS on mobile, web, and desktop apps (windows and mac).
We have a powerful slack integration, which allows you to see when a meeting is starting. Also, you can connect Cosmos to Google Calendar, and set your Cosmos Office as the default video tool for all your meetings.
Thanks so much for checking us out. Please share any feedback and thoughts you have with us in the comments

Awesome work @karan_baweja1@rahul_goyal! I enjoyed chatting with Karan recently to learn more about the product and how it creates more connectedness in the remote workplace. For anyone interested -> https://youtu.be/rfRkOShmCp8
@rahul_goyal Congrats on the big launch! I love that there's the ability to adjust your avatar and even include a petβone of the things I miss most about going into the office, aside from the camaraderie, is the office pets! (We had three dogs at my last workplace.) The attention to detail, overall, seems really high on this. Great work!
Our team is spread across 7 different countries and we're constantly looking for new ways to connect virtually. Will definitely try it outπ
Curious to learn more about the core differences to Gather Town and other similar tools :)
@carlo_thissen Hi Carlo! Firstly, I love your product, and we use it whenever we have external Google Meets meetings! π
Definitely give our product a try! We hope that you will find Cosmos to be a really valuable addition to your remote team, and it will help reduce the isolation sometimes felt by remote colleagues. Please let me know if there are any feedback or feature requests that might help us take Cosmos to the next level! π
There are quite a few tools in this space that are similar to ours (in looks), however we think we have a few very key features that set Cosmos apart from the rest:
- Statuses - In cosmos, you can set yourself to available, listening (hear others, but have your audio, video off) or away (focus mode) . This signals your availability to your team at a glance.
- Conversation Topics - In Cosmos you can set topics for meetings, and share context with your team.
- Weβve had multiple customers attest to our spaces being modern and immersive than any other tools they have tried
- 20+ games weβve built in house, from pong to poker and pictionary (I swear by Telephone and Deception)
- We have a seamless integration with slack. This integration allows you to:
- See when teammates enter your Cosmos office.
- See whatβs happening in Cosmos. Join meetings with a single click.
- Get notified when someone invites you to talk on Cosmos. Join with a single click
- We have apps for Mac, Windows, and mobile platforms where you are able to - at a glace - look at all the conversations and meetings going on in your office, and participate with a single click
- Also, I'd say our pets are very cute
@indranil_dasgupta Thanks for sharing! (and for the kind words about tl;dv - stoked to read this!)
We'll definitely give Cosmos this Friday a try. I already love how you implemented games. The Slack integration sounds promising. I see it as crucial to form a habit as we are on Slack every single day.
Most important for me: find a tool to make it seamless to socially connect and have a great time together. No meeting provider manages to really solve it to date...it always feels slightly "off" unless you pro-actively break the ice :)
@carlo_thissen Awesome! I hope you'll find the features we've implemented helpful. And don't hesitate to let us know if you need any help with setup etc. π
And I think you've hit the nail on the head! One of the hardest challenges for us in this remote world has always been to offer team building and bonding which doesn't feel forced, or puppet-stringed (like ice breaker questions which lead nowhere). With Cosmos, we've tried to build an experience where, after meetings, you can run into colleagues and teammates, and we have found that the experience is very lifelike, and promotes easy conversation. I hope you experience the same, and let me know your feedback π
@rahul_goyal@dragos_bulugean Thanks for the support Dragos! π Please let us know if we can help you and your team get settled in on Cosmos, and let us know any feedback you might have that'll help us improve Cosmos :D
