Remotion has been so easy and fun to use, love the new updates as well!

Thanks @michelle_ando, I'm a fan of your work!
Richard Tasker
Looking forward to trying this out. We are a hybrid team so this looks like it will be useful. Does it have some basic chat (text) capability?
Alexander Embiricos
Thank you @rtasker! Let me know if you have any issues getting access. We've intentionally avoided basic chat to avoid creating new information silos. Do you currently use a chat tool?
Richard Tasker
@embirico We use Slack. But as we all know Slack's video is awful. Another question - do you support virtual camera's on Mac so that mmhmm and other video apps will work?
Alexander Embiricos
@rtasker make sense—use Slack for text and Remotion for audio/video! We do support most virtual cameras including mmhmm. Some of them are a bit unreliable, so not all of them.

Remotion is a fantastic product and has become our default video chat tool for work (and fun!). It handles team presence super well and makes hoping into a call supremely fast and easy. At first we used it just for active collaboration and kept using Zoom for "just chatting" calls, but we eventually swapped over to Remotion for all calls because it's just so easy to use. The "daily selfie" feature seems mostly just fun and novel at first, until you realize that for fully remote teams the daily photo is a great way to feel connected to your teammates – seeing their selfie makes it feel almost as if they're "at their desk" (without all the downside of actually being at a desk in an office). We're a very heavily async team, but the "shoulder tap" style quick video calls are a very effective way for us to clarify complex issues quickly, brainstorm on hard problems that require the creativity that synchronous communication offers, or get some team connection when we want it. Nice work @embirico & team! Keep it up!!
Alexander Embiricos
Love this @theericanderson 🙏. You're spot on about daily selfies, and I hope you enjoy the live selfies that shipped today! Also, let me know if you're interested in trying out separately-focused coworking with music—we can turn on rooms for you.

These design updates are 🔥🔥🔥

@bohnjai yes, incredible work by Jasmine and @samjau.
Diana Rossoni
Looks awesome! Love the quick calls..don’t need to commit to a full meeting to speak with my team. Can’t wait to try it!
Alexander Embiricos
@dianarossoni thanks! Looking forward to hearing what you think!

We use remotion at my company (bit.io ) and love it. We're fully remote and use remotion to simulate the in-office experience of leaning over and just asking your colleague a question. We setup a policy of "if someone is green on remotion you should feel 100% free to click on them and start chatting" - zero friction. The team uses this all time, and it's a big part of why remote work works for us. Highlight recommended!
Alexander Embiricos
Thanks @adamfletcher for being one of our earliest teams! Really appreciate your continuous feedback and spending time with us.

?makers Any timeline for Windows support? Our virtual office is a hybrid of macOS and Windows 10.
Alexander Embiricos
@nbarbettini if people are finding Remotion 2.0 useful through launch, we'll get to Windows soon, starting via web!
Camelia Smeria
Signing up for that update. We're fully on Macs - except for one colleague, who is now completely out of the non-Slack loop 😳
Matt Holden
We're a small startup and use Remotion for all our video calls. Love how much more lightweight it feels to hop on and have a quick conversation vs using Zoom or Meet to have a "meeting". It's also nice to see when my co-founder is available, since we sometimes span different time zones. Keep it up!
Alexander Embiricos
Thank you @matt_holden1, excited to see your team grow!
