Orbital

Collaborate in interactive audio spaces as a team, class, or community

Sold out

Unlike deciding what to make for dinner every night, working remotely with your team shouldn’t cause you existential dread. (♫ Hello DiGiorno, my old friend…♫)

But if all you know is missed meeting links and grids of bored faces, engaged remote collaboration sounds impossible.

If only there was a customizable space with interactive tools that let you pop in for meetings, start quick chats, host office hours, and effectively cowork—in the same link.

Say hello to Orbital.

Overview

Orbital is a custom, online audio space with collaborative tools that lets you interact remotely for meetings, chats, coworking, and breakout sessions—all from one link.

Gathering online should offer frictionless connection—and we’re not just talking about your WiFi.

Orbital offers an online space that’s interactive and customizable, so you can reduce video call fatigue for coworkers, classmates, and team members.

Design custom avatars to move around multiple subspaces and only hear users in close proximity, just like in a real room.

You can also work more effectively with other users by meeting under a single link and providing everyone with “Presenter” permissions for unlimited screen broadcasting.

Collaborative chats

Meet your group in custom themed spaces alongside collaborative tools like Spotify playlists or games.

If you’re getting sick of the same video interface screens, simply choose from Orbital’s 80+ graphics that switch up seating, planets, private desks, and more.

You can pick a conference room or private office that's right for you—even if that means coworking in a virtual treehouse!

Fully customize every physical aspect of study spaces, office hours, or drop-in meetings, gathering your team around a campfire or warming up the weather by sitting poolside.

Plus, you can use the breakout feature for attendees to meet in smaller groups away from the larger event and speakers’ main stage, fostering engagement and increasing participation.

Breakout areas

Design separate breakout “areas” to gather multiple groups of people in one room, allowing your coworking space to function like a real one!

With Orbital, you can use features like sticky notes to brainstorm with a team, or even write someone a quick message that you dropped by their digital office.

You can also share multimedia clips, like embedded YouTube videos or hilarious TikToks, for training sessions or convo-starters.

There are a ton of ways to bring your team together, from scheduling meetings and sending motivational shoutouts to bookmarking important links.

Collaborative games

Add collaborative games to group galaxies for team building and fun office events!

Orbital’s galaxies let you visually organize documents however you see fit, matching layouts to the individual ways your team works.

Add links to create libraries, and then organize these resources with ease.

Best of all, Orbital allows you to keep all your files and collaborative canvases in one place, so everyone can be on the same page.

Integrated attachments

Access everything you need for an organized meeting, including the list of attendees, coworking dashboards, uploaded files, and document links.

Since you can’t pass out donuts during remote meetings, you need way more than your co-worker’s adorable cat to keep attendees focused. (“Does Snowball have any ideas for Q3?”)

Orbital equips you with a digital collaboration space for hosting engaging meetings and events, so you can keep your business running smoothly.

Start hosting meetings people want to attend.

Q: Will Appsumo refund this short life time deal?

Email from founder below:

"Dear friends,

Sadly, after nearly three years of hard work, we have made the difficult decision to shut down the Orbital product. This will take place on 9th January 2023.

We've given our all to finding ground with the product, but we’ve been unable to get the traction and engagement required maintain the product at scale. We know how much Orbital was loved by those of you reading this email, and we are incredibly thankful that you've come on this journey with us.

The product will no longer work past 9th January. Please keep this in mind if you’ve scheduled meetings or events past that date. Please also back up any files, graphics, etc. that are stored in the your galaxies, as you will not be able to access them past that date.

Thank you for your support,

Ashley Porciuncula
CEO and Co-founder, Orbital"

Q: Hello is this product similar to Virbela" virtual world?

I use Virbela for eXp world for training my real estate agents.

Are the audio zones conversations private to only those inside the zone?

A: Hello! Yes, we are similar, in that the product utilises distance-based audio and you can navigate around a virtual space.

To answer your question about audio zones, those on the outside cannot year you. We will soon be releasing the ability to lock a zone, so that people cannot enter. So, for now, think of it like an unlocked door. :)

A: Very cool idea! We don't currently have any plans for remote control of another person's machine, but I will definitely pass this on to the team and we'll get it on the voteable public roadmap. :)

Q: Simple question: I already have a community (Wordpress/Buddyboss) and would like to use Orbital as an extension/new Feature.

Orbital would not fullfill all I need (Forum/LMS/Chat-App/Shop/...), so I would like to have this features as an extension but not "instead" of my recent community.

So is there a way to create a single-sign-on, so my members can just click somehwere on my page and get to Orbital already logged in?

All the best, Julian!

A: Great question! We don't offer single sign on functionality, but you can share the open invitation link instead. After they have created their Orbital login once, they will stay logged in and can access the galaxy directly through the same link again. We do have SSO on the roadmap as well, would it be Wordpress SSO that you'd want to use?

Q: One more CNAME Question :) I am trying to decide if I need to buy multiple Tier 1's or go for the Tier4.

Can we add as many CNAMEs as we want, or is it one per acct? I am hoping we can many as the usage is already liited by seats. I think it is better for you (to get MRR revenue) to allow multiple CNAME per account, because then Sumo-lings will need to add more seats directly through MRR. But as my use case is to use Orbital via CNAME on several domains, I would like to know which way I should structure my buy... fingers crossed one Tier 4 buy will do the trick for 5 to 7 CNAMEs. Thanks for your quick reply as the deal leaves in 2 days!

A: Great question! At the moment the thought is that it will be one CNAME per galaxy, but we're definitely open to feedback on that!
