Summary and recommendation
Around, the video conferencing platform, was discontinued on March 31, 2025, following its acquisition by Miro in June 2022. The product never supported SCIM provisioning or enterprise SSO integrations during its operational period, leaving IT teams to manage user accounts manually. Around's features have been integrated into Miro Video Calls, which offers robust enterprise identity management capabilities including SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning.
For organizations that relied on Around, the discontinuation creates an immediate need to migrate to alternative video conferencing solutions. Popular enterprise alternatives include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Whereby, all of which offer varying levels of SCIM support and SSO integration. Miro Video Calls represents the direct successor, incorporating Around's unique spatial video features while adding enterprise-grade identity management that Around lacked.
The strategic alternative
For organizations migrating from Around or evaluating video conferencing platforms, Stitchflow provides managed provisioning automation for enterprise video solutions like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Miro. Works with any identity provider and eliminates manual user management overhead. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

What Around actually offers for identity
Around is discontinued. The video conferencing app was acquired by Miro in June 2022 and officially shut down on March 31, 2025. All features have been integrated into Miro Video Calls.
No Identity Features Available
Since Around no longer exists, there are no identity management capabilities to evaluate:
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | ❌ Product discontinued |
| SCIM provisioning | ❌ Product discontinued |
| User management | ❌ Product discontinued |
| Group sync | ❌ Product discontinued |
Migration Options
If you were using Around for team video calls, consider these alternatives with proper identity management:
| Alternative | SCIM Support | SSO Support |
|---|---|---|
| Miro Video Calls | ✓ Yes (Enterprise) | ✓ Yes |
| Zoom | ✓ Yes (Pro+) | ✓ Yes |
| Microsoft Teams | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| Google Meet | ✓ Yes (Workspace) | ✓ Yes |
| Whereby | ❌ No | ✓ Yes (Business+) |
Bottom line: Around's shutdown leaves teams without video conferencing OR identity management. Most organizations migrating from Around choose Zoom or Microsoft Teams for comprehensive SCIM and SSO support.
What IT admins are saying
Around's discontinuation left IT teams scrambling to find alternatives and migrate video calling workflows:
- Product shut down with limited notice after Miro acquisition
- No clear migration path for enterprise features or integrations
- IT teams forced to evaluate and deploy new video conferencing solutions
- Loss of Around's unique features that teams had grown accustomed to
Around was acquired by Miro in June 2022 and shut down on March 31, 2025. Features integrated into Miro Video Calls.

The recurring theme
When SaaS vendors get acquired and discontinued, IT teams bear the operational burden of finding replacements, migrating users, and ensuring business continuity—often with minimal transition support from the vendor.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Currently using Around | Migrate to Miro Video Calls (includes Around features) |
| Need video conferencing with SCIM | Use Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet with native SCIM |
| Want Around-style experience with automation | Use Miro Video Calls + Stitchflow for seamless provisioning |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Choose enterprise video solution (Zoom, Teams) + Stitchflow |
| Small team exploring alternatives | Manual setup with Whereby or Google Meet acceptable |
The bottom line
Around shut down on March 31, 2025, but its features live on in Miro Video Calls. If you need automated user provisioning for your video conferencing solution, Stitchflow works with all the major alternatives—Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Miro—giving you the automation Around never offered.
