Corona Crowd

Community in the time of COVID-19

In times of quarantine, people all over the world are fighting physical isolation by returning to community spaces in online form.

If you manage a restaurant, pub, museum, library or other community space – bring the conversation online by creating an immersive space on Corona Crowd!


What is this?

Lots of people are feeling isolated or lonely without the social contact they find at their local pub, library, barbershop, or restaurant. At the same time, cultural centers and businesses are affected due to the lack of patronage caused by global quarantine.

We wanted to bridge this digital gap by building an authentic digital space for people to spend time together, much as they do in the physical world.

How does it work?

We’ve combined the real-time technologies of the Internet, including technologies like RTC audio streaming, real-time mapping/localization, voice balancing, and spatial awareness.

This simulates the experience of navigating a crowded space with a few groups of people, and then settling into a conversation you find interesting.

The fine print

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards bullying, harassment, or abuse of any sort on the platform. We have taken some steps to uphold the quality of the community:

  1. Crowds can only convene during open hours, which are set by community spaces
  2. A dedicated Crowd Host from the hosting organization is present
  3. No personal contact information, such as names or phone numbers, is ever revealed to anyone without explicit consent
  4. People can report any abuse to their Crowd Host at any time using a secure messaging platform
