I'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. [0] https://webcamoid.github.io/
Installed 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…
Is $100/yr too much? A b2b sales team might spend $400 getting a first meeting with a customer, and $10k more over the course of further meetings. A 1h internal meeting with 10 people might cost thousands in wages. If mmhmm makes a handful of meetings marginally more effective it will pay for itself.
If the product works but the price doesn't, you may not be the intended buyer.

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.
That song is awesome. Great story.

All the account creation friction sucks, but I'll defend the price. It's a subscription because the value you get depends on how long you use it. Making the price incremental (vs e.g. a one time $100 charge) means more people can try it and get value for a limited time, and only keep it if it continues to add value for them. Is $100/yr too much? A b2b sales team might spend $400 getting a first meeting with a custome…
Isn’t that true of all things you purchase?

in most cases, tools with subscriptions do not need more maintenance than products with a one-time purchase (don't know anything about this specific case, so dunno if it applies here). It's just that after adobe/jetbrains and others opened pandoras box, slowly but surely more and more devs try to make their tools to a continuous income stream... It get's really silly to the point that a snipping app has a yearly subs…
While I agree with you in general, this tool appears to rely on a kernel extension for their virtual Webcam. And that creates a lot of additional and ongoing maintenance work.
I 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…
