Tangle
What it is
Tangle is a virtual communications space for remote teams, built around a shared 2D canvas. Teams can create rooms for meetings, planning, socializing, and other purposes, setting room doors open or closed. Spatial audio lets participants adjust nearby conversation volume and choose how much team chatter to hear. Members can use customizable animated avatars when their cameras are off; the FAQ lists more than 500 customization options. Real-time stickies and link previews, including for Figma and Google Docs, support shared work. Participants can also raise hands, send hearts, and trigger effects such as confetti or an air horn. The Free plan is free and includes up to 50 team members per server and 25 per room, plus unlimited rooms and images, screen sharing, on-camera video, customizable avatars, and customer support. Tangle is available for macOS and Windows and says it is available worldwide; in-app text is currently only in English. The company says network connections are encrypted end to end and audio and video streams use 256-bit AES encryption.
