The best thing about Toucan is that I can keep this open all day like slack. Friends can find me to chat

@andrea_kalmans I was look at Toucan and thinking this too...but it seems to limit to 2 hours. How do you manage to keep it open all day?

?antonia_hellman Psyched to use this for a couple of upcoming events. I searched through the FAQs but couldn't find any info on a participant limit. Is there one? @antonia_hellman

When my brother, Ethan, and I were sent home from college back in March, we found ourselves losing touch with the communities and people that we were so close to on campus. Socializing over traditional videoconferencing tools was only making a tough situation more awkward. That's when we decided to take matters into our own hands. We gathered a phenomenal team of professionals and made the platform into what it is today. We love Toucan, not only because we built it, but because we, ourselves, need it. We went live with our public beta last week, so now the rest of the world can enjoy it, too.

How is this different than the million other video apps on the market? "emojis" is not a selling point 😂

@sumner_murphy it really comes down to the unique way that we approach the problem. Our emphasis on social psychology and providing the necessary tools for people to socialize like they’re used to in-person makes us stand out from the crowd. I understand that the term “emojis” may have a relatively one-dimensional connotation. They’re the little pictures that you use to give text messages a little extra flavor. But, on Toucan, they serve a greater purpose. The way we’ve implemented them actually conveys emotion, connects people across the space, adds another layer to the social experience. I invite you to come by our Social this Thursday and see this for yourself: https://app.toucan.events/go/bfc....

Been using Toucan for our social and casual hangouts at The Community Club for a few months now, and absolutely loving it! Definitely better than Zoom for the more casual events.

@theteaguns Second this. Had a chance to try Toucan at one of Community Club socials and loved it!

Toucan is a refreshing departure from Zoom. It does a good job mimicking an in-person event, allowing participants to flow between conversations.

I've enjoyed the fluidity of moving in and out of conversations within Toucan. It's the closest I've experienced to replicating a live social event where groups evolve organically over time. Also beats Zoom by a longshot. Great to see this launch :)
