We’re excited to introduce a new quality-of-life update in BeZoned – the Sidebar.

It’s something we’ve been planning since the very beginning, and it solves a simple but important challenge. Now, you can stay connected with your team even when the BeZoned office is hidden behind other applications.

With the Sidebar, your team is always within view. You get that sense of sitting together without needing a large screen or keeping the full office open at all times.

How it works

Just like at a table, you can see who you’re sitting next to through their avatars. Clicking on an avatar gives you the same options as in the BeZoned office.

You can also set your status (Available, Away, Busy, or Do Not Disturb) and toggle your microphone and chat on or off directly from the Sidebar.

One of the most useful additions is Push-to-Talk, which now works across all applications on your computer. You don’t need to have the BeZoned office window active for it to work. You can easily change your Push-to-Talk key in user settings.

Setup

It takes less than a minute to get started. Click here and choose the installation that matches your setup and follow the instructions.
