Spec score 7.4 #15 of 22 in Virtual Meeting Room Software

What it is

Meetropolis is an open-source virtual office for remote teams, set in a live 2D world with proximity-based spatial audio and video. Guest access and screen sharing are available. Phaser provides the live-world layer, while Colyseus powers real-time multi-user interaction. Teams can use the web application or self-host it with the supplied Docker Compose setup, which includes the web app, server, database, and LiveKit service. The self-host configuration uses PostgreSQL and documents SMTP email settings for invites, guest magic links, verification links, and welcome messages. Personal API tokens can control microphone, camera, screen sharing, and do-not-disturb status. Server components use AGPL-3.0-only; the web client and shared types use MIT. Tiamat UG offers a commercial license. The open-source server permits 25 concurrent users across the whole server, and the 26th user is kicked. Production self-hosters must supply a TLS terminator, configure production secrets and allowed CORS origins, and may need TURN for restrictive networks.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Open-source virtual office for remote teams
  • Proximity-based spatial audio and video
  • Guest access and screen sharing
  • Docker Compose self-hosting setup
  • Personal API controls for devices and status

Limits

  • Open-source server limited to 25 concurrent users
  • Production setup requires your own TLS terminator
  • TURN may be needed on restrictive networks
  • AGPL obligations apply to server components

Who it suits

Meetropolis suits remote teams wanting a shared virtual office with spatial audio and video, either through the web or a self-hosted deployment. Teams evaluating self-hosting should be able to manage Docker Compose, production security settings, and the 25-user open-source limit.

Verdict

Meetropolis offers a self-hostable, open-source virtual office with spatial interaction and API controls. Deployment responsibilities, licensing, and the 25-concurrent-user ceiling are central planning considerations.
