Abstract

The present disclosure describes techniques for facilitating collaboration in a workspace. The techniques may comprise automatically displaying an avatar of a user in a representation corresponding to a first virtual room once an application starts to run on a computing device associated with the user. Display of the avatar in the representation may indicate that the user is in the first virtual room. A collaborative mode may be entered based on user input from the user. A visual element may be added to the avatar in response to entering the collaborative mode. The visual element added to the avatar may indicate that the user is available for a real-time communication with other users among the plurality of users.
