It really is all you'd need for a nice and pleasant virtual workspace. Easy to set up, easy to customize your space, would've been awesome if you could add your own custom sprites.
Some nick-picky stuff is that there is no intuitive way of hiding the floating controls when you share your screen and it can be a bit annoying if you plan to use your entire screen. You can't also change the level or configure placed sprites so you have to place the sprites in order so they look the way you meant...

Some nick-picky stuff is that there is no intuitive way of hiding the floating controls when you share your screen and it can be a bit annoying if you plan to use your entire screen. You can't also change the level or configure placed sprites so you have to place the sprites in order so they look the way you meant to place them. But other than that, I haven't encountered errors, bugs or problems so pretty solid!
Their free tier is pretty reasonable and making your own virtual world is so easy! Even compared to other services like WorkAdventure (which requires you to upload a json tilemap, quite easy using Tiled). You can easily add objects and even add interactions to them. For example - I added an arcade machine and linked a game website to it. Interacting with it opens the website and it's really cool! Added few multiplayer web games that way.
Cons - On Android, it only supports Chrome. Doesn't support Firefox. Didn't work on Opera either, which is based on Chromium. YMMV for other Chromium-based browsers though.
