Introducing Airtime Camera: Upgrade your video in every meeting

When you’re in an important call, making a strong first impression is vital. But if you’re just one more face in a sea of identical bland boxes, rising above the crowd is a challenge.

You need a way to stand out, keep people engaged, and highlight your personal and company brand so people remember you. It needs to be easy, and it needs to work everywhere.

We get it. That’s why we’re launching Airtime Camera, a new video app just for meetings from the team that brought you mmhmm. You can get it right now as a standalone app, or bundled with Airtime Creator to make all your work on video more polished and professional. If you’re already an mmhmm or Airtime Creator user, just update your app to try it out.

Set your look

We’ve all spent a lot of time looking at people silhouetted against fully virtual backgrounds. And that’s fine, but, as the kids say, it’s just “mid.” Hiding your background creates a barrier—not just to that messy space behind you, but to a sense of authentic personal connection.

The energy is different when people can see where you are. You’re inviting them into your sphere. It’s real. It’s just better. But that doesn’t mean you have to curate the perfect wall or twist into an unnatural position! With Airtime, you can turn your real environment into something beautiful, no matter where you are.

Start with one of our preset looks or create one from scratch. You have full control over your appearance and background.

  • Pop out from your background with a striking color tint or gradient. Blur your room to remove distractions, or hide it completely if you really want to.
  • Upload your logo or any other image to make your look truly yours.
  • Style an info box with your name, location, mood, or other relevant details so others can get to know you better.
  • Frame yourself in a shape, add a professionally designed wallpaper, and apply special effects for even more individuality.

Create the perfect vibe

A wide array of looks created with Airtime Camera

There’s no limit to the number of looks you can create. Set the right tone in any meeting by keeping one look handy for external calls, another for team meetings, and a third for casual settings.

  • See all your looks in one handy panel. Click one to switch to it instantly.
  • Add a new look at any time, in mere moments.
  • Edit any of your looks on the fly, toggle your name tag, or go camera-off with a click.

React in the moment

Stay active in the conversation without interrupting the flow. Toss a thumbs-up over your shoulder, react to something funny with your favorite GIF, or let everyone know when you need to step away for a minute.

  • Choose from a useful set of built-in reaction images, or upload your own.
  • Search GIPHY to make the perfect response on the fly, without leaving Airtime.
  • Need to step away? Hide your camera and set a custom message letting everyone know you’ll be right back.

Unify your team

Airtime Creator makes it easy to be on-brand in situations where people might not already know you. Get the rest of your team on board, and you can create a consistent, exceptional look for everyone that reinforces your company brand and shows you mean business.
