Interface is great, I’d pay for “easier OBS” to reduce cognitive load when presenting a dynamic presentation (I’ve used mmhmm for conference talks and sales and investment pitches).
Why I don’t use mmhmm is the CPU load, compositing screen share and running green screen significantly impacted my MacBook Pro load. Fix this and I’m back in.
Sweeten the deal - multiple slide decks running concurrently.

OBS is already miles ahead in this regard: better customizability, better integration with existing platforms, free, etc. imo, mmhmm is simple and is really good for presentations in my experience, so perfect fit for corporate workplace crowd
Tried OBS on Ubuntu to do this kind of thing at work but it added several seconds of latency. Is this normal and how does OP's app get around this?
On Linux I use obs-v4l2sink https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-v4l2sink
On Windows I have tried OBS VirtualCam https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/
Both of them work very close to real time for me.
Maybe your computer lacks hardware acceleration?

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.
Speaking of music, this app's name made me think of the album MMHMM by Relient K, which has a hidden track also called MMHMM (at the beginning of the CD).

#105Is this name a reference to 80's video games? https://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Mmrnmhrm
Nah, I think it's a reference to the 1994ish Crash Test Dummies song.

It's not just you. I looked around for a bit, then bounced and figured someone in HN comments would mention what this is. And while I appreciate that the name is not another -ly -fy or -r or something with umlauts, "Mmhmm" is just... really bad.

#107Closed source available for download for Mac. Oh great.
Re: Mmhmm
#108My 2 cents to add is please use this sparingly unless you're intentionally being humorous. When altering what would normally be reality, less is much, much more.
I've gone to a couple online networking events recently and there's always some people with video modifications that turn them into an unbelievably tacky advert.

I looked through almost their entire site and halfway through these comments here before I realised this WASN'T a competitor to Zoom/Skype/etc. The website completely and utterly makes it look like video conferencing software, to the point where I was digging through their pages trying to find out if it was encrypted or what their back end was for the streaming.
For a product about presentation, their presentation needs a lot of work.
Also the price is utterly ridiculous. When I thought it was a full video conferencing suite I was on the fence about it "possibly" being worth USD$10/mth, but as a pure virtual-video-editor it's maybe worth $20-40 once-off and definitely not worth any form of subscription.

That song is awesome. Great story.
