GroupRoom, a leader in a newly emerging market of spatially-aware video chat and collaboration platforms for digital hybrid workplaces, today announces that Citrix Systems, Inc. has approved the GroupRoom Microapp as Citrix Ready®! The Citrix Ready Marketplace features products and services to more than 400,000 Citrix customers and 1,500 Citrix channel partners.

When most everyone was in the office or everyone remote, work was simple. Now half your staff is back in the office and half remote. GroupRoom’s digital hybrid workplace solution creates a digital twin of your office and brings everyone back together both physically onsite and remotely in the same place — the virtual office.

GroupRoom simulates real-life behavior online by allowing many people to move around a room/space or an office floor plan to interact and collaborate with others at the same time via our spatially aware video chat with proximity algorithms.

GroupRoom creates a listening radius around your video avatar allowing you to engage with people near you. Add in collaboration tools such as Google Docs, YouTube videos, whiteboards, screen shares, and private video rooms, and you may start feeling normal (and productive and fun) again.

Citrix Workspace customers can now seamlessly add GroupRoom’s Microapp (proximity-based video chat and collaboration tools) to their company-wide Citrix Workspace implementation! Integrating our new Citrix Ready approved Microapp is easy. Here’s a quick video demo of our new Microapp in action.

As highlighted in the above video, Citrix Workspace users can now manage their team’s group rooms and get notified as their co-workers join their spaces and event chat to the rooms via Citrix Workspace.

Detailed instructions can be found on our website but it basically requires only three steps:

  1. Download the GroupRoom Microapp and import it into your Citrix Workspace.
  2. Contact hello@grouproom.io for a GroupRoom API key.
  3. Add your new API key to the Citrix Workspace configuration screen.

Invite your colleagues to join you!

Imagine your entire global office floor plan digitally available online allowing your onsite and remote employees to work together seamlessly and even teleport from campus to campus or office to office.

GroupRoom is your new digital hybrid workplace. Pair this with Citrix Workspace and now you have secure automation tools to streamline daily operations with real-time workplace and collaboration tools making it even easier to get back to work productively and fun.

Let’s get back to work by inviting both your onsite and remote workers together into our digital hybrid workplaces today!

Reach out to us on Twitter or Facebook or drop us an email if you would like a demo of GroupRoom or discuss your team needs in more detail with us.
