ZEP review
A flexible virtual Space builder for small meetings, education, and community events.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ZEP is a browser-based virtual meeting room platform built around avatar-led Spaces. It supports meetings, events, offices, bootcamps, webinars, education, and community gatherings through video, voice, chat, reactions, camera and microphone access, screen sharing, and proximity-based private areas. Hosts can start with templates or blank maps, then add objects, links, videos, interactive mini-games, quizzes, and private zones. It is a strong fit for teams and educators that want a more spatial, customizable setting than a conventional video call, especially when simple navigation and themed environments matter.
The freemium structure gives smaller groups a clear entry point. The Free plan includes up to 20 simultaneous users, simple map creation, and limited mini-games. Basic adds more simultaneous users, unlimited spotlights and screen shares per map, space passwords, domain restriction, and whitelisting. Pro adds unlimited apps, a custom URL and loading logo, Google Analytics integration, a data dashboard, and downloadable visit and chat history. Enterprise adds an exclusive server, a dedicated manager, adjustable channeling, and negotiated features. This progression makes Basic the practical step up for access control and presentation, while Pro is aimed at organizations that need branding and usage data.
ZEP’s main advantage is breadth within a browser-based environment: one Space can support social interaction, presentations, learning activities, and separated conversations. Google Analytics is the named integration, and Pro includes additional dashboard and history capabilities. The trade-off is platform scope and scale. The Free plan is capped at 20 simultaneous users, and the product has no mobile apps. Organizations seeking a highly standardized meeting client, broader native-device coverage, or larger default room capacity should consider an alternative. ZEP suits educators, event hosts, and small teams that value custom virtual environments over conventional meeting-room simplicity.
