What Frame is
Frame is a browser-based platform for creating private or public virtual spaces for businesses, schools, organizations, and communities. Participants can talk with spatial voice, use translated text chat and whiteboards, share webcams or screens, browse together, and edit collaboratively in real time. A drag-and-drop editor supports media and 3D models, while interactive elements include buttons and proximity triggers. Listed AI tools include image and skybox generation, GPT-powered chat, AI characters, translation in 30 languages, and speech-to-text captions. A space can hold up to 300 people; reaching 1,000 requires suitable settings and contacting support. Frame runs in desktop, mobile, and VR browsers without downloads. On mobile, screen sharing and laser pointers are unavailable, and the guide recommends basic use such as speaking and viewing. The listed plans are a free trial, then $10, $50, or $200 per month; educators can get a 50% discount. Subscriptions recur and are billed monthly or annually as selected.
