Your group is not a meeting
Facilitators already gather a closed circle on video. Generic tools fight the ritual. Orbiter is the room for an invited sit — an online sangha, dharma sharing, or council circle.
Grid vs ring
Zoom and Meet put faces in a gallery grid and reward whoever talks loudest. A circle puts people equal around a shared center. One voice at a time for sharing — not mute theater while twelve people wait.
The workaround today is Zoom plus a YouTube bowl plus email. Someone shares a bell tab; phones sleep mid-sit; public links invite drive-by joiners. Orbiter keeps the invite list you chose, a sharing turn, and a shared prayer bowl in one room.
Trust defaults that matter for a sit: invite-only, no session recording on Orbiter servers, no ads in the live circle. Members join because you invite them.
Who this is for
Teachers and facilitators who already invite 3–12 people to sit on video — Insight and MBSR sanghas, council and grief circles, yoga teachers with a weekly sit, chaplains with a closed group.
Orbiter is not a public teacher directory, a solo meditation timer, or a webinar for fifty. Members arrive from your invitation.
