My use of GoBrunch is for hosting live chats with various members of my own development team. It allows me to invite strangers to sit in a room that feels like a comfortable business lounge versus inviting them to a platform like Google Meets. There is a clear distinction between people on the stage and people who are listening in the audience. I think if I did this via Google Meets, fewer people would show up because it would feel as though they are more involved with the call than they really are, or that they are comfortable being. So that is the use case for me.

Initial setup did take some onboarding, but thankfully, this team has a lot of content around helping you craft the perfect space for what you need it to be. The setup wizard for each room could probably be more polished, but it works as is once you've spent some time clicking through all the buttons to learn how each can affect the space you're trying to build. It's not exactly Photoshop-level complexity, so I believe an hour or two of messing around with the settings while trying to create your space would do the trick.

I spent some time looking over their content, which showcases other creators and the unique and interesting ways they are utilizing this platform to form the space that they want. By doing so, it gives me a little bit of an idea and context on how I can grow my own if I choose to go that route. Some of the community members seem to really go all in to a level that I am not comfortable spending my time. So, I believe my use of this software is pretty basic, but it serves the use case that I need it for, and I do not regret buying into this project.

I highly recommend it for individuals that work with online crowds or anyone trying to build a community with a tool that adds a sense of presence to the entire experience without making the participants feel pressured or uncomfortable while being at an event because you can design your spaces in a way that makes it appropriate for each social interaction.
