Table of contents
Presenter opacity
Presenter opacity determines how translucent you appear on the stage. Whenever you find yourself blocking your slide content, consider going partially translucent to allow your audience to “see-through” you. Alternatively, you can go completely translucent to disappear from the scene completely so that full attention is on your slides.
Click on the Style tab on the top left-hand side of mmhmm. Then, use your mouse to click and drag the Fade slider to adjust your opacity.
Click on the Presenter tab on the top right-hand side of mmhmm Studio. Then, use your mouse to click and drag the opacity slider to adjust your opacity.
Presenter size
Presenter size determines how big or small you appear on the stage. Use this slider with the anchor buttons to determine which corner you shrink to or expand from when adjusting presenter size.
Click on the Style tab on the top left-hand side of mmhmm. Then, use your mouse to click and drag the Size slider to adjust your size.
Click on the Presenter tab on the top right-hand side of mmhmm Studio. Then, use your mouse to click and drag the size slider to adjust your size.
Alternatively, use your mouse to click and drag one of the four corners of your image to adjust your size.
Frame
Selecting a frame will apply a crop to your camera so that only a portion of your head and body is visible on the stage. By default, everything visible in the foreground of your camera will be visible to your audience, but you can select a Circle or Rectangle to limit what’s visible and let it focus only on your head.
Silhouette - This cuts out your silhouette wherever you are in the camera’s field. This can hide your background with or without a green screen.
Retangle - This is the frame to use if you would prefer to use your actual background instead of one of our virtual backgrounds. On mmhmm Studio, the sides, top, and bottom can be adjusted for the perfect crop.
Circle - This is a tight circular frame.
Click on the Style tab on the top left-hand side of mmhmm. Then, use your mouse to click and select your desired frame.
Click on the Presenter tab on the top right-hand side of mmhmm Studio. Then, use your mouse to click and select your desired frame. By default, the Full and Circle frames follow you as you move around. If you would like for the camera to stay still, uncheck “Center me.”
You can manually control the crop of your frame by using the tabs on top, bottom, or sides of your frame. Click the blue X icon to remove the crop.
Note: You can only manually control the frame cropping when using the Full frame.
Effects
Effects add an overlay to yourself or your presentation for added fun.
Click on the Style tab on the top left-hand side of mmhmm. Then, use your mouse to click and select your desired effect. If there is an option to change the strength of the effect, a slider will appear under the effects panel.
Click on the Presenter tab on the top right-hand side of mmhmm Studio. Then, use your mouse to click and select your desired effect. To adjust the settings on the effect, click the gear icon next to the name of the filter. Use the slider to make the setting more intense or less intense.
Big Hands
Big Hands mode lets you communicate visually over video by identifying specific hand gestures and turning them into giant emojis.
To activate Big Hands mode, check the box next to Show Big Hands in the Style tab.
To activate Big Hands mode, check the box next to Show Big Hands in the Presenter panel. You can also use the keyboard shortcut G to turn Big Hands mode on or off.

Away button
If you need to take a moment for yourself during the call, hit the Away button to let other attendees know you’ll be right back. Clicking on the Away button will also mute your microphone.
Laser pointer
Click the Pointer button to enable the laser pointer. This allows you to use your mouse to draw attention to certain areas of your slides. Click the arrow to the right of that button to choose the color of your laser. Clicking it again turns it off.
Laser pointer pro-tips
- Use P as a shortcut to toggle the laser on and off.
- On mmhmm Studio, you can select the color of your pointer by clicking the down arrow next to the Pointer button and selecting your preferred color.
- Click and hold down the mouse button to draw with your laser on the mmhmm stage. The trail you make with your cursor won't disappear until you let go.
