Thrilled to see Butter Scenes go live on Product Hunt! 🎉 Hoping this makes collaboration and engagement a no-brainer from here on out—this is just the beginning, with lots more to come!

Ahmad Zaytoun
This is awesome! can't wait to try in my next training session! A question: is this a separate product from Butter video call app? If I already have a subscription there, do I have access to Scenes? Is there a public roadmap to suggest features and tools? Many thanks!!
Jakob Knutzen
@ahmad_zaytoun It's separate, yes! But they play (very) nicely together. Right now all access is free, and we'll probably include it in our Unlimited plan :-) Feature suggestions: I'd recommend using our community! We don't have a public roadmap, but we take a ton of suggestions there: community.butter.us
Chris Holm-Hansen
@ahmad_zaytoun Thanks so much Ahmad! Glad to hear you'll be using Scenes! Butter Scenes is a separate product from Butter Video. We are going to be integrating it deeper into Butter Video though :D Butter Scenes is free to use for anyone at the moment, and will be included for everyone on the Butter Unlimited plan when we introduce pricing later. We don't currently have a public roadmap, but I'd more than happy to share more details on what we have in store! Appreciate your support Ahmad, it means a lot!

Congratulations on the launch! This is a game-changer for remote collaboration! As someone who has worked remotely for the past 5 years, it’s amazing to see how Butter addresses the big challenges of remote collaboration with all these creative features. From transforming dull video calls into an engaging, interactive environment, from silent and uneventful calls to sessions filled with music and reactions, and from managing 100+ tabs of Miro boards and docs to an all-in-one platform that brings it all together. And now, a presentation experience designed specifically for remote collaboration. I can’t wait to see more users adopting this tool and turning all those mundane online presentations into truly collaborative experiences that allows audience to react, interact and engage with the speaker. I really hope Tim Cook will be using ButterScenes to present in next year’s WWDC!
Chris Holm-Hansen
@ben_shih hahah yeah! Would be a dream come true to see TC skipping keynote and go Scenes :D Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and your support - super lovely!

Aaro Isosaari
Excited to see Scenes launched finally! I feel it has the potential to be a game-changer for adoption. At least I know what we’ll be using the next time we have a workshop. Wasn’t so obvious earlier. Kudos to the team 👏
Jakob Knutzen
@aaro This is THE COOLEST comment! It really means a ton - also reshared this with the team!!!

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Butter Scenes looks like a game-changer for creating interactive workshops. How do you see it being used for remote team building?
Jakob Knutzen
@ihuzaifashoukat Ahhh, good question! We've got A LOT of ways to create cool icebreakers and interactivity - so I'm hoping to see a lot of people use Scenes for JUST that!
Cheska Teresa
@ihuzaifashoukat We've got a lot of new inspo now from the facilitators who've used it in Seen in Scenes! We'll share it in the community soon 🙌
Chris Holm-Hansen
@ihuzaifashoukat yeah, Scenes is purpose-built to bump the interactions in your workshops waaaay up! Great question on remote team building - Scenes would be a great companion to any virtual teambuilding done in Zoom, Teams or other video platform, as it lets you interact in so many different ways in a much more relaxed and personalised environment. Opening up for multiple modes of interaction is incredibly important for creating space for all types of participants/employees and make sure everyone feels included. Happy to share more concrete strategies if helpful!

I was an early tester of Butter Scenes and have been using it for a while. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Not everyone can always use the Butter platform in full and many organizations (and many of my clients) have to use things like Zoom, this helps bring those elements of energy to something that is more — dare I say it? — buttoned up and all corporate-y like Zoom is (not matter how hard it tries not to be, sorry Zoom LOL). Zoom is like wearing a wool suit, while Butter is like wearing whatever makes you feel truly like yourself and express who you really are, for me its my pink hair and a hoodie, maybe a fun T-shirt--- and Scenes is like adding some of you to that suit, maybe some crazy socks, throw in hat, and if you wanna get really crazy a fluffy feathered boa (if you have to wear it HAHA!) Some of my fave features... So far (I know there will be more!) Structured Brainstorming 🧠 ↳ This is SO POWERFUL. There's the ability to add brainstorming sections so it's not just a free for all. ↳ You can add a header and a description for each section! ↳ People can add and color their post its. ↳ You can start voting (and make it anonymous) as a facilitator, plus people can add emojis to each idea. Free brainstorming ⚡️ ↳ Wanna start with a template or an image and have people brainstorm over it... yes please. ↳ There's some preset templates like Crazy 8s and Axis, or you can upload your own, just another way to virtually brainstorm. Kanban 💡 ↳ Who doesn't love a kanban style interactive board? ↳ I like to use this as a brainstorming framework for a way to mix it up, sometimes you get tired of staring a a virtual whiteboard the entire workshop.. and so do your participants. Pin-on-image 📌 ↳ I ADORE this one, you can upload one full image or multiple, and people can pin their avatar (OR it can be anonymous with a selected type of pin) anywhere on the image. You can get super creative. ↳ You can add questions for them to answer once they place their pin, and they can answer with an image!

Cheska Teresa
