Around

Around was a video-calling application built for designers, developers, and product teams, known for floating circular "heads" that cropped participants to their faces so the call could sit on top of the work rather than dominate the screen, plus echo prevention that let several people call from the same room. Around was acquired by Miro in June 2022, operated for a period as Around by Miro Labs, and was shut down on 31 March 2025, with features such as echo prevention and reactions folded into Miro's own video collaboration surface. The around.co domain is now parked on the GoDaddy/Afternic aftermarket and the product, developer portal, and any API surface are gone. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical record; there is no live API to catalog.

Around is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Video, Video Conferencing, Collaboration, and Remote Work.

x-enrichment-note: 'Enrichment probe 2026-07-20 (re-verified): Around shut down 2025-03-31 following its June 2022 acquisition
  by Miro. around.co now delegates to ns1/ns2.afternic.com and https://www.around.co/ redirects cross-host to forsale.godaddy.com/forsale/www.around.co.
  Every probed path (/.well-known/security.txt, /openid-configuration, /oauth-authorization-server, /api-catalog, /ai-plugin.json,
  /llms.txt, /docs, /developers, /api, /openapi.json) returns HTTP 200 from the GoDaddy parking catch-all — status codes alone
  are misleading here. All the .well-known and spec paths serve text/html whose body is a JS redirect to /lander, not the
  advertised media type. TRAP WORTH NOTING NETWORK-WIDE: /llms.txt returns text/plain and is a genuinely well-formed llms.txt,
  but it is GoDaddy''s auto-generated FOR-SALE llms.txt describing the domain listing (Buy-It-Now / Make-an-Offer / escrow
  terms) — it is not Around''s and must never be saved as a searched LLMsTxt artifact. https://new.around.co no longer presents
  a valid certificate for that name (TLS unrecognized_name). The GitHub org github.com/around is real and domain-verified
  for around.co, but publishes only .github, around (product issue tracker), and around-oss (open-source license attributions)
  — no OpenAPI, SDK, or specification repositories. No OpenAPI/AsyncAPI, packages, MCP server, well-known documents, changelog,
  sandbox, or security program exist to search, generate, or derive. Zero artifacts written: any would be fabrication.'
