The Events Centre
Launches, premieres and live talks on a big screen, watched together from raked theatre seats. Hosts take the stage mic, the lights and the confetti; you can get up on the stage between shows.
NEW IN VIDMOAT
The Lot: a 3D town for creators
Walk into Vidmoat. Watch premieres with a crowd, rent a stand on Market Row, work from the café and edit your videos from a studio of your own.
Free with a Vidmoat account. In your browser, on a laptop or a phone.
WHAT IS INSIDE
A town where the buildings are Vidmoat
Market Row
Eight stands along the square, each with its own screen that visitors open: a business's about page, a video, an offer and a link, like a little website you walk up to.
The square and the billboard
The billboard plays creators' own work to everyone in the square at the same moment. Put an export forward and, once a person has looked at it, it joins the rotation.
The Commons
A café to work in with a barista, a lounge, a half court and an arcade. Bring a laptop from the shop and open Vidmoat at a table, among other people doing the same.
Worlds beyond the square
Sunset Beach at golden hour, Neon Nights on the beat, Pine Ridge with a waterfall and a secret. Through the World Gate, with the full-screen Atlas to find your way.
Your own studio
A room of your own with Vidmoat OS on the desk: your projects, the editor, media, exports and Otto, without leaving the town. Decorate it and invite people round.
DAY, NIGHT AND THE SEASONS
Arrive at dawn, leave under the stars
The Lot keeps its own clock, the same for everyone in town: a day lasts two real hours. The lamps come on at dusk, and the seasons follow the calendar, with falling leaves in autumn and snow in winter.
FOR BUSINESSES
Be seen where creators hang out
A stand on Market Row
$29 for 7 days · $79 for 30
Your brand on a booth in the square and a screen you configure: about, a video, an offer, a link. Visits and link opens are counted for you.
A walking ad
From $9 for 3 days
A character carries your banner round the square and the worlds, and can tell people about it when they ask.
A sponsored event
$99
"Presented by" you on the Events Centre stage, the schedule and the ticker, for a show we put on together.
Every stand, ad and sponsorship is reviewed by a person before it goes live; the days start when it is approved. Rent one from inside the Lot.
QUESTIONS
About the Lot
Is the Lot free?
Yes. Walking around, the events, the worlds and your studio are free with a Vidmoat account. The shop sells name tags, trails, emotes and studio themes for credits, and some shows sell tickets in credits.
Do I need a gaming computer?
No. The Lot runs in your browser on a laptop or a phone. On a device that cannot run 3D smoothly you get the flat Lot: the same places, billboard and panels, without the town.
Can I edit videos inside the Lot?
Yes. The computer in your studio runs Vidmoat OS, which opens your projects in the real editor, and a laptop from the shop lets you do the same from a café table.
Is there voice chat?
Only if you turn it on. Voice is proximity based, so you hear people near you. Chat is filtered, anyone can be muted or blocked, and lines can be reported to our team.
How do I get my video on the billboard?
Put an export forward from the billboard panel. A person reviews it before it plays, and the billboard shares the day fairly between everyone whose work is approved.
How does day and night work?
The Lot has its own clock: a day lasts two real hours and is the same for everyone in town, so you might arrive at dawn and leave under the stars. The seasons follow the calendar. Prefer daylight? Choose Always day in Settings.
Can my business advertise in the Lot?
Yes: rent a stand on Market Row, send a walking ad round the town, or sponsor an event. Every one is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and the days start when it is approved.
