Topia is a browser-based platform for interactive virtual worlds where people can explore, create, collaborate, communicate and play. Audio and video connect participants as they move close to one another and disconnect when they walk away. World owners can customize spaces and embed live streams, websites, music, apps, games and collaborative tools. Access can be controlled with passwords, account authentication, approved guest lists, scheduled opening hours or SAML SSO. Topia lists Zapier integrations and services such as Slack, Miro, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets and Calendly; developers can use its SDK, APIs, JavaScript and C# client libraries, and webhooks. The free DEMO plan has a 50-person capacity, with broadcasting and screen sharing each limited to one. PRO is billed at $4/user/mo and starts at $100/month. When a world is full, new arrivals wait until space opens. Topia recommends Chrome, Edge or Brave; Firefox and Safari support is in beta. Its beta mobile experience is audio-only, and desktop or laptop use is recommended.
