Airtime is the new name for mmhmm, the video startup created by Evernote founder Phil Libin. And with this rebrand, the company is launching two fresh tools aimed at making online meetings more engaging and polished.
The first tool, Airtime Creator, is designed for real-time presentations. It lets you appear on screen alongside your slides, so you’re not just talking over a deck—you’re presenting it visually. Up to ten people can be on screen at once, creating a more dynamic experience than typical video calls.
The second tool, Airtime Camera, helps you stand out on platforms like Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Webex. It lets you customize your video feed with tinted backgrounds, logos, and animated reactions like GIFs. The goal? Help you look more professional and stay memorable during crowded virtual meetings.
Both products build on mmhmm’s original virtual camera concept but take it further with new features and better control. Users can now change their layout, add custom backgrounds, and place more focus on the presenter. The tools aim to fix common video call issues like low energy, poor visuals, and camera shyness.
The rebrand to Airtime is now live. Desktop users will see the mmhmm app and icon updated after their next launch. Web users will notice the change immediately. In meeting software, “mmhmm camera” will now show up as “Airtime.”
As for pricing, Airtime Camera is free until August 1. After that, it will cost a one-time fee of $20. Airtime Creator is available through a $10 per month subscription, though new users can try it for free.
Libin’s startup has raised $100 million from investors like Sequoia Capital and SoftBank. With its new name and tools, Airtime is doubling down on its mission to bring personality, polish, and presence back to video meetings.
At the heart of this relaunch is Airtime Creator, a toolkit built to bring life to online presentations. Instead of passively clicking through slides, users can now actively present alongside their visuals—on camera and in real-time. The tool allows up to 10 people to share the screen simultaneously, creating a collaborative and visually rich experience.
Airtime isn’t just a name change—it’s a creative shift toward making virtual presence more human. In today’s remote work culture, people often show up to meetings in hoodies, blurred backgrounds, or with cameras off altogether. Libin’s new tools are a bid to reverse that trend by making it easier (and frankly, more fun) to look polished and professional without extra effort.
Airtime Camera is the second major product in the suite. It turns your basic webcam feed into a branded, attention-grabbing presence across major video platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Users can customize their on-screen appearance with branded backgrounds, overlays, logos, and even fun visual reactions like GIFs. Whether you’re leading a pitch or just trying to stand out in a crowded meeting, Airtime Camera is designed to help you own the screen.
The camera tool builds upon mmhmm’s original virtual camera concept but now comes with expanded features and a sleeker interface. It’s a natural evolution that reflects how far video communication has come since 2020—and how much more room there is to make meetings feel personal again.
For existing mmhmm users, the switch will be seamless. The next time they open the app, they’ll see the new Airtime branding, along with access to both Airtime Creator and Airtime Camera. Web users will experience the updated branding immediately, while desktop users will notice the icon and app name change on the next launch. Meeting platforms that previously listed “mmhmm camera” will now show “Airtime” as the input source.
As for pricing, Airtime Camera will be free to use until August 1. After that, users can unlock lifetime access with a one-time $20 payment. Airtime Creator, on the other hand, is offered as a subscription for $10 per month but comes with a free trial for those who want to test the waters.
Backed by big-name investors including Sequoia Capital and SoftBank Vision Fund, the company formerly known as mmhmm has raised over $100 million in funding. With the Airtime rebrand, it’s betting that better, bolder video communication will define the future of work—and it wants to help lead the charge.
