Just as Zoom defined our work lives during the early pandemic, Mmhmm aims to be the future of video calling. It turns boring, old-fashioned video chat into an interactive, dare we say “fun” experience.

Instead of a bunch of heads yapping over last night’s dirty dishes and struggling to find their meeting notes, Mmhmm can turn video calls into real presentations, like the ones you see on John Oliver or the evening news. Imagine your kids’ remote schooling with Mmhmm, and you’ll start to see the potential.
“The idea is to kill PowerPoint,” Mmhmm founder Phil Libin told Lifewire over — what else? — a Zoom chat. “No one will ever have to stream PowerPoint slides again. It’s a hybrid between a movie and a slideshow.”
When the global COVID-19 lockdown hit, video calls took off. Families stayed in touch via Skype and FaceTime, and businesses flocked to Zoom. Now, Zoom is making a push into the home, too, with its recently announced integration with smart displays for the home. “Soon, you’ll be able to use Zoom at home on your smart display as part of our Zoom for Home program,” Zoom’s Jeff Smith wrote in a blog post . In other words, professional video chat is here to stay.
