I’m really tired of hearing the endless mantras of “we’re all in this together” or “in these unprecedented times”. It feels like everyone wants to keep bringing up what’s happening this year over and over again. I think it’s supposed to comfort, but it just ends up reminding us of all our problems. I don’t want to talk anymore. I want change. I think we all do.
But how?
Well, the simple answer is to find the small things in life that we can make better. One example of this is the endless Zoom meetings we are forced to constantly endure.
I think it’s safe to say that at this point, pretty much all of us who are working from home are having to deal with Zoom fatigue. I know I am. It might be easy to just resign ourselves to our fate. But that is just simply not how we change things. But how? How can we get rid of Zoom fatigue? Well, one option could be to quit your job entirely and move to the Swiss Alps. Sure, it’s a ways away, but I hear the summers are nice. If that isn’t quite up your alley, don’t worry. There’s an easier way. It’s called mmhmm.
What’s mmhmm?
mmhmm is a video enhancing app that makes presenting online way more fun and intuitive. By adding it to Zoom, you can get rid of the awkward screen sharing of the past, in exchange for over-the-shoulder live screencasts. You can even share your phone screen! mmhmm pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible for video calls. I mean, you can turn into a Jedi force ghost if you want!
Personally, one of my favorite features is the multitude of background options, including live backgrounds. You can set the scene, and then manipulate your video as much as you want!
Check out this video if you want to see all of these features in action.
For those who find themselves in positions where they have to present with a partner over Zoom, get excited! mmhmm, just a few weeks ago, released multiplayer! Multiplayer allows two people to control the same screen at the same time, and do many other fun things that most wouldn’t have even considered.
mmhmm is the update Zoom needs. And right now, beta is out! There is a waitlist, so sign up now! Right now, it feels like there isn’t much we can change in the world. It can be so easy to fall into feeling out of control. But we MUST fight this! The way to do that is to do what we can to make the world a better place for ourselves and others. From what I can see, mmhmm is an excellent way to do just that. Lookup mmhmm.app. You won’t regret it
