Hey Product Hunt community! I’m Jordan, a co-founder of Galactic. The other co-founders of Galactic (@harper, @dylanr, & @gauri_galactic) and I are stoked to have @chrismessina hunt this for us! tl;dr: Galactic is building products for the new internet and our first experiment is the Galactic Camera, a fun and easy way to add personalized and visual effects to your video. ----- ** Why did we build the Galactic Camera? ** At the start of the pandemic, we were stuck in our homes trying to figure out OBS and other software to make video chat more interesting. Setting up these solutions isn’t easy or intuitive, and takes more work than we wanted.. Galactic Camera gives anyone access to all the fun effects and visuals that our streamer and Twitch friends are used to, without the complicated setup. ----- ** Why would I use the Galactic Camera? ** 🌈 Video meetings can be stale and boring. Galactic brings fun & personality to video meetings with reactions, memes, and magical effects. 📈 Level up! Galactic lets you easily add your company logo, colors, and professional titles. 🔇 Everyone lives on mute these days (for good reason). Galactic lets you visually communicate and react in your video w/o having to unmute.   🖼️ Video is a bridge between the metaverse and the real world. Use Galactic Camera to easily show your NFTs and other crypto assets. ----- ** How do I get it? ** Galactic Camera has been in beta for a few months and we’re excited to open up today and let everyone use it for free. We have fun using it every day in our meetings and are pumped for you to give it a try! 1) Get started by signing up and downloading here: https://galactic.camera 2) Join us on Discord w questions and see what else we’re up to: https://discord.gg/YdPn94875 Awesome! 🚀 jordan

I pitched in on Galactic Camera the past couple months to help get the macOS app across the finish line (mostly adding M1-compatibility and fixing some video pipeline issues). I absolutely can't tolerate meetings anymore where I don't have my Galactic Camera running. It allows me to be more expressive and participatory in meetings without derailing the meeting's purpose and flow. I wrote a thread last week about some potential things you can do with Galactic Camera: https://twitter.com/johnboiles/s...

Been using Galactic forever and love it. Rarely does a video chat go without someone commenting on my Nyan Cat 😂 I also think the Galactic "CNN chryon" may have tricked Room Rater (which is why I got a 1/10... lolz!) https://twitter.com/ratemyskyper...

Oh, this is much nicer and simpler than mmhmm. Btw, you would have required some brilliant ffmpeg chops to make this happen. Good job! Going to try it out.

Lucky enough to have seen this evolve over the past year or so. Simply put: Friends don't let friends use boring cameras.

I came for the rain of emojis, but I stayed for the name badge, meeting timer, and meeting agenda. What at first glance seemed like a delightful novelty has become an indispensable aspect of all of my team meetings. Can't believe I never realized I needed these tools before, but now that I have them I can't imagine going without.

Hey Girl

I work at Galactic, and I have been beta testing Galactic Camera for months. Now—this is not an understatement— I feel naked in a Google Meet or a Zoom without Galactic Cam. I use it every day for purposes personal and professional. Galactic can be whatever you want it to be. You can use it to do Very Serious Business and add professional details like a watermark or just go wild. It's delightful for meeting attendees unfamiliar with it. People are always surprised and impressed you're able to bring that level of custom to a Zoom meeting not knowing it's so simple to do. Not only does Galactic Cam simplify adding overlays etc it also simplifies the overlay/effect creation process too—using the product unleashed some latent creativity I didn't even know I had in me. I got super into making apps and personalized overlays and frames (they say my name, contact details, qr codes etc). I would have never known where or how to get started creating for video before this came into my life and Galactic Cam made it so I can focus on the way I want my video to look and achieving that vision, using the basic creative skills (Photoshop, Procreate, HTML/CSS/JS) I already had. Apart from just how awesome it is to have the sickest Zoom meetings in town... I've loved feeling so inspired. :)
