#72If the people who develop this app are here, it took me quite a while to figure out that it uses a "virtual camera" to work, and therefore potentially works with most videoconferencing software. That should be front and centre - for a while I wasn't sure whether it was a separate videoconferencing app because the screenshots are just the app, rather than it being used in Zoom or whatever. The only reference is "Funne…
I second this. Saw the site, and was not sure if it was another Zoom or another Snap Camera.

#73Installed to tryout it out. I dislike it requires yet another user account just to try it out[1][2]. Overall it is pretty simple to use with a decent UI and worked fine for my quick test of a Signal desktop app video call by selecting the mmhmm virtual camera in Signal. It did not work in FaceTime as there is no way to change the camera from the built in one (however I was able to change the audio source to mmhmm aud…
I feel like this is one of the great cases for a “residential” vs “commercial” model.
From a software dev perspective, I definitely understand the benefit of monthly/yearly subscriptions vs feast and famine cycles (with the hope that you can justify an upgrade to your users), but it.has.gotten.out.of.hand.
Some of your best customers start out bootstrapping and becoming experts in the cheapest (workable) solution. If you tell them they’re “too poor” for not wanting to pay your prices at the door, you just lose out.
With an excellent product, it’s even viable to have free tiers and then charge businesses $$$ (basically all past Windows software if you count piracy as free), or move to a Patreon/sponsorship model (Vue.js).
If you have to pay “cloud” costs, I get the struggle of giving it away for free, but if it’s all on-device? What’s your argument?

#74I played with Mmhmm during beta. It's a simpler to use OBS, from what I can tell. It's good for some laughs.
They just came out of beta and announced that it would cost $9.99/month. I was pretty shocked to see a recurring fee for such a simple app, which, from what I could tell, offers nothing new over a long establish FOSS project. It strikes me as more of a one time $10 purchase. Would really like to hear how they justify a recurring cost on this.

#75I've used Webcamoid[0] on Linux to do silly camera filters during a Zoom happy hour. This one looks a bit more polished, but Mac only for now.

It took me a while to figure out what this product is. Much more time than I was willing to spend on it. - Be the star you are! - Level up your presentations! - Make high-quality video content in minutes! - Direct everyone's attention! What do you guys offer? Bullhorns? Public speaking training? Pro camera rental? I feel like an old fart.
Even after opening the link I couldn't shake the feeling it had something to do with that awful Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm song from Crash Test Dummies, I hated that song and I hate this app even though they are evidently not connected after all.
Re: Mmhmm
#77Tried out mmhmm in beta, very cool. I deleted the app because I can't share my screen in zoom to show presentations easily. Its somewhat useless if that is not integrated properly.

#78Account on opening up. No. Bye
Re: Mmhmm
#79Something tangentially relevant to this, it is curious how this epidemic is forcing rapid change that was resisted for many years, and some of that change I suppose will stay. Companies resisted remote-working, educational institutions were very lukewarm towards remote classes/degrees, now all of that is the new normal. It is not a perfect comparison but this reminds me of the sweet changes during and just after WW2. It seems society needs a kick in the butt from time to time shake things up.
Re: Mmhmm
#80I like this approach. Everything it does can be achieved by OBS with a couple of plugins, but this is a very user-friendly packaging of great looking presets: use cases over technology. Also, super fun name.
What part of "Mmhmm" could be regarded as "super fun"?
Tastefully done it can be used to spice up a little bit classes or presentations. God knows that many of them are irredeemably boring.
