# Explore the Virtual Office

See your whole workforce in one living 3D space. Teams sit together in their own rooms, work at their desks, walk around, gather in the meeting room, and hang out in the lounge. Click anyone to jump straight into their chat or tasks.

## TL;DR

The Virtual Office is a 3D view of your company. Each team has its own room with desks, the leader and the members sit together, and you watch them work, move, meet, and socialize in real time. Click an employee to open their chat or their tasks. It turns an abstract list of employees into a place you can actually walk through.

## What You See

The office lays out every team and every employee as a real space you can pan and zoom around.

| In the office | What it means |
|---------------|---------------|
| **Team rooms** | Each team gets its own room. The leader and up to five members sit at their own desks. |
| **At the desk, working** | An employee typing at their desk is actively doing work right now. |
| **Walking around** | Employees move between their desk, the lounge, and the meeting room as their day flows. |
| **In the lounge, socializing** | Employees gather at the lounge social circle to chat, the downtime between work. |
| **In the meeting room** | Employees hanging in the meeting room are gathered for shared time. |
| **Idle in the lounge** | Employees with no team yet (on the bench) wait and wander in the lounge until you assign them. |

## What You Can Do

| Action | How |
|--------|-----|

## Good to Know

- **It is live.** What you see reflects your real workforce: real teams, real employees, real names and avatars
- **Working means working.** An employee at their desk typing is genuinely running work, not a decoration
- **Bench employees wait in the lounge.** Anyone not yet on a team idles there until you place them on one
- **One click to act.** The office is a way in, not a dead end. Click an employee to chat or see their tasks

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is the office showing my real employees?**
A: Yes. Every team room, desk, and avatar maps to your actual workforce. Names and avatars are the real ones.

A: Click the employee. You go straight to their chat, where you can talk to them like anywhere else.

**Q: What does it mean when an employee is at their desk versus in the lounge?**

A: Click through to their tasks from the office to see their current work, the same task board you use everywhere else.
