Phil Libin, co-founder of Evernote, is back with a fresh approach to video meetings. His company mmhmm, which launched during the pandemic, has rebranded as Airtime and released two new tools designed to make online meetings more engaging and professional.
Airtime’s new suite includes Airtime Creator and Airtime Camera. These tools aim to help remote workers stand out, improve meeting quality, and reclaim the energy often lost in virtual communication.
Present with Personality Using Airtime Creator
Airtime Creator replaces traditional screen-sharing with a polished presentation mode. Instead of just showing slides, the tool lets users become part of the content. Up to 10 people can appear on screen during a presentation, creating a dynamic and collaborative experience. It includes features from mmhmm’s original app but offers more customization and control.
You can adjust your background, fine-tune your presentation layout, and tailor the visual experience to suit your brand or mood. The goal is simple: make meetings more memorable and interactive. Whether you’re pitching an idea, leading a webinar, or training a team, Airtime Creator helps keep attention where it belongs—on you.
Look Sharp with Airtime Camera
Airtime Camera is the second tool in the suite, acting as a virtual camera layer for popular meeting apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex. With this tool, users can tweak their backgrounds, add logos, and use GIF reactions to express themselves in meetings.
It’s not just about looking good—it’s about standing out. With many remote workers choosing to turn their cameras off or appear in poorly lit spaces, Airtime Camera helps users make a stronger visual impression. Custom branding options also help professionals reinforce their identity in client-facing meetings.
The move to these tools reflects a broader shift in how companies approach video communication. Casual video calls became the norm during the pandemic, but many now seek to raise the bar. Airtime’s tools bring back structure and polish without being stiff or formal.
From mmhmm to Airtime: A Fresh Identity
The rebrand from mmhmm to Airtime signals a new chapter. While the technology and vision remain similar, the company wants to simplify its message and focus more clearly on productivity and visual storytelling. Users of the original mmhmm app will see the name and icon change after their next app update. Web users will see the rebranding take effect immediately.
In video conferencing software settings, the virtual camera will now appear as “Airtime.” The company has made the transition seamless, ensuring users won’t lose any features or past presentations.
Airtime Camera is free to use until August 1. After that, users can unlock it with a one-time $20 fee. Airtime Creator, on the other hand, follows a subscription model at $10 per month. A free trial is available for those who want to explore before committing.
Backed by major investors like Sequoia Capital and SoftBank Vision Fund, Airtime (formerly mmhmm) has raised over $100 million. The company is betting that the future of meetings is not just remote—but visually rich, personalized, and impactful.
