When mmhmm (now Airtime) might be a better fit
We believe in honesty. Here's where mmhmm (now Airtime) might actually suit you better.
You need a virtual camera inside live meetings
mmhmm/Airtime's flagship is outputting your webcam + slides/overlays/background as a virtual camera into Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Webex. If your presentations happen live in meeting apps, that integration is genuinely useful. One Rec doesn't output a virtual camera.
You present over slides regularly in video calls
mmhmm lets you overlay yourself on top of slides with layout presets designed for live presentation formats. For people who present frequently in meetings and want more polish than the default 'face + screenshare', this is purpose-built.
You're already on Zoom / Teams / Meet and want a lightweight upgrade
If your workflow is already in those tools and you mainly want better backgrounds, slide overlays, and appearance controls in them, Airtime's integration is lower-friction than installing a separate recording studio.
