We are introducing a zoomable, canvas based editor called Prezi, in which multiple users can collaborate synchronously, and share a common workspace for various purposes. They can develop a presentation together, create a mindmap, a storyline or do brainstorming. In this paper we would like to describe our key ideas, when designing the user experience of the collaboration function. We are arguing that the use of avatars in zoomable user interfaces are providing a uniquely efficient environment for collaboration in productivity applications. This kind of representation in a ZUI collaboration environment is raising group awareness, articulation work, and also gamifies presentaion editing, facilitating casual interaction between the participants.
