Nothing says "brainstorm" like a Catchup

When your team thinks together over a video Catchup, it's like you're all in the same room. Everyone can interact with the infinite canvas while still being able to pick up on teammates' visual cues. There's no need to switch tabs or share screens—video tiles are moveable, resizeable, and can be placed just about anywhere on the Space.
