MeetInVR Is Closing on April 30, 2026: What This Means for Your Team
On January 29, 2026, MeetInVR announced it will permanently shut down on April 30, 2026. Unlike platforms that treated VR as an experiment, MeetInVR was purpose-built for professional spatial collaboration. That makes this closing a genuine loss — and a decision worth understanding. This post covers what drove the MeetInVR shutdown, what it signals about where the market is heading, and what your team should do before the deadline.
What MeetInVR Announced
MeetInVR announced on January 29, 2026 that all services will cease on April 30, 2026. That date is both the service end and the data deadline — the company has not indicated any grace period for retrieving content afterward. Users need to download all meeting recordings, documents, and account data before April 30. Active subscriptions will not be extended past the closure date; outstanding licenses will receive prorated refunds. For questions, the company has directed users to support@meetinvr.com. In its announcement, MeetInVR described the decision as a choice to “finish strong,” citing “significant shifts occurring in the enterprise sector.”
Why MeetInVR Is Shutting Down
MeetInVR’s announcement named three forces explicitly — and each one matters for understanding what this closure actually signals.
The first is platform realignment at the top of the industry. Meta shut down Workrooms in February 2026. Apple Vision Pro pivoted away from enterprise toward consumer spatial computing. Two of the largest players repositioned within months of each other, and that compressed the market oxygen available to smaller enterprise specialists. MeetInVR cited “key platform providers are strategically re-aligning their enterprise VR initiatives” as a direct factor.
The second is the gap between pioneering a category and scaling inside it. MeetInVR demonstrated that enterprise VR meetings work — that contribution is real. But demonstrating viability and building the infrastructure that enterprise teams actually require are different problems entirely. SSO integrations, compliance tooling, IT management, and persistent content pipelines demand sustained investment that a small, focused team could not sustain alone.
The third is capital flowing toward the next hardware cycle. MeetInVR named this directly: an acceleration in AI-enabled glasses and next-generation AR/VR is pulling investment upstream. Near-term funding is chasing the next platform, not the current one.
What this adds up to is not a verdict on the category. Enterprise VR is not collapsing — it is consolidating. The platforms without the infrastructure or focused commitment to serve enterprise teams at scale are exiting. That creates clarity, not a ceiling.
Why MeetInVR Teams Find a Home in RAUM
The MeetInVR shutdown does not close the category — it clarifies it. Enterprise teams that invested in VR collaboration are not looking to retreat; they need a platform built specifically for this work, one with the architecture and commitment to stay. RAUM was designed to solve exactly what MeetInVR could not scale.
1. Persistent Workspaces — Work That Stays
MeetInVR was a meeting room. Sessions ended and the environment reset. RAUM is a workspace: whiteboards, 3D assets, and full content setups remain exactly where the team left them between sessions. A project in progress on Monday is still there on Thursday — no rebuild, no re-upload, no re-arrangement. For teams doing ongoing spatial work, that persistence is the difference between a meeting tool and a collaboration infrastructure.
2. Enterprise Security and Data Sovereignty
RAUM is GDPR-native by architecture, not by policy add-on. For teams that hesitated on MeetInVR over data governance questions, that friction disappears at the structural level. Made in Germany means this is not a compliance checkbox ticked after the fact — it is built into the platform from the ground up.
3. Hardware Compatibility — No Fleet Replacement
MeetInVR users have already made the VR hardware investment. Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro fleets represent real budget decisions. RAUM supports the full Quest lineup — nothing in the existing fleet needs to be replaced. The transition from MeetInVR to RAUM is a software migration. The headsets the team already owns transfer directly.
4. A Platform Built to Last
Every MeetInVR user is now asking the same question: will this one shut down too? RAUM is not a pivot from a consumer product, not a side project of a hardware company. It was built for enterprise VR from the start, with no consumer roadmap competing for the same resources. The consolidation of early 2026 is clearing out platforms that were not built to last. RAUM is one of those left standing.
Your April 30 Migration Window
April 30 is a fixed deadline. What is not fixed is how much time your team has to prepare. Teams that start in February or March migrate deliberately — testing workflows, transferring content, and arriving at the closure date with momentum already built. Teams that wait until April are compressing that same work into days. The deadline is identical; the experience is not.
Step 1: Download Your MeetInVR Data Now
All recordings, documents, and content stored in MeetInVR need to come out before April 30 — and that date is both the service end and the data deadline. Large libraries take time to export and organize. Treat this as a week-one task, not a last-week task.
Step 2: Run Your Existing Workflows in RAUM
Replicate the specific meeting types your team runs today: recurring reviews, design workshops, onboarding sessions. RAUM’s persistent rooms mean the workspace you configure this week is still there next week — nothing resets between sessions. Start with one workflow. That is enough to understand whether the transition fits before April arrives.
Step 3: Commit Before April 30
Teams that decide in February or March have months of operational momentum by the time MeetInVR closes. That runway matters. Teams that wait until April are making a rushed decision under pressure, with no runway to correct it. The deadline does not move — what changes is how prepared the team is when it arrives.
