Mac Windows Other apps
Here are the video conferencing platforms that mmhmm for macOS currently works with:
  • Zoom
  • Google Meet
  • Cisco Webex
  • GoToMeeting
  • Blue Jeans
  • Houseparty
  • RingCentral Video
  • WebinarNinja
  • Vidyo
  • Microsoft Teams
In some cases, mmhmm is compatible with a video platform's web app but not its desktop app. This is usually because plugins are only accepted on the web app. The known clients this is true for are:
  • Skype
  • Amazon Chime
  • Discord
Due to macOS restrictions, mmhmm Studio does not work with some of Apple's built-in apps such as Safari, FaceTime, and Photo Booth. You can, however, use mmhmm desktop's virtual camera with Safari, Facetime, and Photo Booth.

Best practices
Note: The "Broadcast" window is only available to share if you are using mmhmm Studio. 
For the clearest quality presentations, especially those where you are sharing a lot of text to your audience, we recommend you use your video conferencing app's screen sharing functionality. This will automatically set your audience's screens to Speaker View and allow you to get maximized bandwidth for a smooth presentation. The following steps are specific to Google Meet but are similar to most other browser-based video conference platforms.
  1. Select the Present now radio button in your meeting. Then, click A window.

  2. In the window that appears, select the Broadcast thumbnail. This window will show only your video feed, which includes the slides you are presenting. Then, click Share on the bottom right-hand side of the window to confirm your selection.
