Zoom Alternative: Mixily
Zoom has become the norm over this past year and a Band-Aid for our shift to virtual, but it is not the right solution for all gatherings. If you’re Zoomed out like the rest of us, we’re here to say you can now say goodbye to Zoom! Virtual Venue is a Zoom alternative to replace your generic meetings with your own customized video gatherings right in your website. Do you need a Zoom account to use Virtual Venue? The answer is no. With Mixily you can start hosting video connections, without Zoom.
I can’t find the link to the meeting! Can you resend the music playlist? I hate Zoom!
How many times have you said or heard these recently?
Zoom is way more complicated than is needed for most meetings and events. Settings are buried, the links are random and someone always can’t figure out how to join last minute. It’s clunky, outdated and a pain. Generic Zoom meetings are so 2020. If you’re looking to refresh your digital gatherings, Virtual Venue could be just what you’re looking for.
On Zoom everything looks the same.
Say goodbye to Zoom and hello to Virtual Venue! This 2 min video previews a venue in action.
