mmhmm for Mac

Quick summary

mmhmm, created by All Turtles Corporation, is a virtual camera application that turns your workspace into a dynamic presentation stage. It can inject slides, videos and live web content into video calls and produce high-quality interactive recordings. The macOS build is available for purchase and download; the Windows release remains in private beta.

Step-by-step: getting mmhmm to work with Google Meet

1. Present with Meet’s “Present now” feature for the best visual fidelity: choose “Share a window” and then pick the window that contains only your mmhmm output before clicking the share confirmation.
2. In the meeting setup, choose mmhmm as your camera and pick High definition (720p) for both sending and receiving video to maximize clarity.
3. Join the meeting link in your preferred browser while mmhmm is open and running in the background.
4. After installing mmhmm, restart the browser so it can detect the new virtual camera as an available video device.
5. Install mmhmm first if you haven’t already, then launch it and make sure it’s active before trying to use it in a call.

Browser and platform notes

• Works well in web apps running in Chrome and Firefox.
• Not supported in Safari or Apple’s bundled apps (for example, Photo Booth) because of macOS security restrictions.
• If you use alternative video apps or browsers, compatibility should not be a problem.

Why add mmhmm to your calls

mmhmm makes meetings more engaging by letting you arrange a virtual stage and layer in interactive visual elements — slides, embedded live web content, prerecorded videos, and more. Integrates with many video-conferencing services to replace dull, plain webcam streams with compelling, multimedia presentations.
