Vibes

A vibe is a live gathering on the map — a get-together that people show up to and add to, in real time. If a tape is a single moment, a vibe is a moment that lots of people are living at once.

No one owns a vibe​

This is the important part, and it's a little different from anything you've used before:

  • A vibe isn't alive until people join. Anyone can start one, but it only comes to life when others show up.
  • A vibe ends when everyone leaves. There's no owner keeping it running, no page that lingers empty forever. When the last person drifts off, the vibe wraps up.
  • Bigger gatherings look bigger. A vibe's footprint on the map grows with the number of people there.

Tapes feed the vibe​

When you're at a vibe, the moments you record become part of its story, and they take on the vibe's world (SKY, LAND, or DEEP). A vibe is the shared thread; the tapes are the beads on it.

Plan a vibe ahead​

A vibe doesn't have to start right now. On LAND and DEEP — your connections' world and your private one — you can set one up like an event:

  • Pick a start time, up to 60 days out. Until then the vibe waits on the map as a countdown pin, and joining it is an RSVP — everyone who joined is on it the moment it goes live.
  • Pick an end time, if you want one. With an end stated, the vibe runs until then and wraps up on time. Without one, it fades on its own once the gathering goes quiet.
  • Pick a place. A vibe normally drops right where you're standing. A planned vibe can happen somewhere else: search an address or a venue and put it there.

Vibes in the public SKY always start right now — a public broadcast is a live thing.

Find your way there​

Every vibe shows the address of its spot. Tap the address and it opens in your phone's maps app, ready for directions.

Let people watch from outside​

If you're on a vibe, you can share it as a special link — a web link that lets anyone see the vibe in any browser: the gathering, who's there, and the moments its people have chosen to publish. The person opening it doesn't need World App or an account, and they can only watch — a special link never puts anyone on the vibe. Joining still works the way it always has: in person, through the vibe's pass.

Any member can revoke the special link at any time, and every copy of it stops working. There's more on how special links respect the worlds in the worlds & privacy.

What's here today, and what's coming​

Live vibes and planned-ahead vibes work today. Bigger ideas — inviting people who haven't joined yet, and turning gatherings into lasting groups — are on the Roadmap. We label what's live and what's still ahead so this page stays honest.
