mmhmm, from All Turtles in San Francisco, is an app that, when used as an add-on to a virtual camera, is designed to make video chats, meetings, and presentations more engaging.
Loom is literally the best free (or depending on your team size) tool that I have found in recent years honestly. I have a consulting practice on the side where we work in multiple timezones. Im not the best with words or explaining things over email, and im a much more visual person. being able to show somehow how to do something rather than explain it via email is HUGE. Its literall creating the office culture vibe over video, and its exactly what i need to help scale my consulting while also help provide training at my current job.
mmhmm is, by far, the absolute best presentation platform I have found - and I have looked a lot and demoed a lot of them. The flexibility, ease of use and visually engaging experience that mmhmm provides has, without fail, been a game changer tool no matter the presentation styles. While it is, hands down, the best virtual presentation platform, I have not been able to level up my in-person experiences to the same degree as I have online. I will continue to explore how and where I can integrate the mmhmm Studio toolsets to pump up my in-person experiences.
Easily integrates static slides, animations and video without having to have vast technical skills.
It's an intuitive application to use. In a few minutes you sign up, start a new presentation and you're underway. It's pretty plug-n-play.
I've recommended it to my "non-technical" friends and they love it. They told me it was super easy to use and has made them more excited to create and share their presentations.
The video trim feature has improved a lot recently, but it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I trim a video clip, it distorts other parts of the video.
It would be nice if they had a referral/affiliate program. I would get all my friends to sign up!
In the future I might like to see a fast-swap handoff to fellow presenters like we do in a live presentation.
Getting more updates on the platform advances in emails would be helpful. Like the recent sharing of useful templates was awesome.
I'd like to see more user stories shared to see how others are using the platform to make their presentations stand out. These kinds of things are helpful in feeding my ideas and insights for my next meeting, presentation and lessons.
It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.
Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.
I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.
We have used zoom, Google Meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with Slack and that is another cool feature
Of all the platforms out there - believe me, I've tried them all - or try to avoid them whenever I can - mmhmm stands on its own with its unique platform benefits, visualizations, ease of use, sharability, affordability, and overall "Wow" factor that we hope to get from our audiences. No matter what it is we are presenting. To have that ability to integrate and gravitate to our presentations has proven to be a game changer that really did not take a lot for us to do. Even better is the fact that we still may have to - for whatever reason - build a presentation in one of the slide builder apps we can still import them seamlessly into mmhmm and use the mmhmm interface as our camera when we use the other platforms. It's been a complete win, win, win all around.
It gives me back 2-3 hours per week in time saved fussing with typing out long emails.
Our team and vendors understand us faster and better when we offer revisions and training using Looms vs. trying to type it out - causing better client satisfaction.
We still have to use Snagit, though, until Loom gives us still screenshot edit/markup abilities!
We've only seen positive impact since deciding to use mmhmm
The ROI is a bazillion-fold. It's not an expensing platform, but the positive impact has been priceless!
Even the Powerpoint burnt out team members have taken easily to using mmhmm
Our presentations get comments like, "Wow... this is cool." "We really loved this presentation. It was completely engaging." "What are you guys using? This is pretty dang cool!"
