About Around
Around redesigns video calls for how work actually happens. When you're on a call while working, Around stays out of the way—floating video bubbles that don't cover your screen.
Screen sharing is built for collaboration, not presentation. Background noise cancellation actually works. The app is lightweight because video calls shouldn't slow down your computer.
Distributed teams who spend hours on video calls daily find Around makes sustained collaboration less exhausting than traditional video conferencing.
