description: '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.'

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.'
