Awesome launch, @shirinnada! Butter Scenes sounds like a fantastic way to level up workshops with the perfect mix of presentation and interaction. How customizable are the slides and whiteboarding tools for different types of sessions? Really curious about how it handles more complex, interactive setups for big groups!
Jakob Knutzen
@shirinnada @davidcardenas Great to hear! Well, we had a group of 150 today - and it handled it super well. It just depends on the setup! Also, things are medium-customizable - I'd almost recommend you check it out to see whether it fits your needs!

@shirinnada @jakob_knutzen1 Thanks for the quick response. I'll check it out and let you know how it works for me
Chris Holm-Hansen
@davidcardenas Thanks so much for the kind words David, much appreciated! The slides come with a lot of options for customisation. Everything from themes and fonts, to layouts and different types of content like embedded websites, timers and videos. On the activities side we have a mix of natively built activities and integrated tools. The native activities include things like live polling options, simple whiteboarding formats, kanban boards, pin-on-image and more coming! On the integrated tool side we currently have Miro, Mural google Google Docs. For more complex sessions, we have 'connections' that lets you link activities to pull and push data automatically between them! Happy to share more thoughts if helpful! Thanks again for the support 💛

This has probably been said already, but the launch of Butter Scenes looks incredible, Jakob! 🎉 I love how you’re tackling the remote workshop experience—something we definitely struggle with from time to time. Can’t wait to try it out with our team and see how it impacts engagement and flow. Congrats to you and the Butter team on the launch!

@cheska_teresa looks absolutely amazing! Something I've been waiting for. We use all of those mentioned tools, combined in one just makes sense! A no brainer for remote teams, very curious to play around with your new baby :D

💡 Bright idea
As one of the beta testers who put it through the paces with live and online workshops, YES, YES, YES, they have cracked an egg here. I have always loved Mentimeter polls to get things rolling and they do that as well or better (butter). I have used Miro for ages now, and they do, most of the essential Miro better (or butter). And I've used Zoom and other tools to share screen and done the akward multi-screen dance (hey everyone look at my screen now, okay now go to your Miro board, awkwardness), and this is just better, and yes, butter.
Chris Holm-Hansen
@curtis_michelson wow! I don't know if we could've hoped for a better review of Butter Scenes than this 🙏 Extremely grateful for all of your feedback and thoughts - they've helped shape a lot of the ways this product works! Thanks so much! Looking forward to continuing the collaboration 🙌
Cheska Teresa
@curtis_michelson So grateful to have connected with you for the alpha, Curtis! You ROCK for being one of the most active testers and for putting Scenes through its paces. Massively helped in turning it into what it is today (and hopefully becomes even more!) 💛 You enjoying it is a massive bonus! See you in Scenes!

Congrats on launching such an innovative tool! Does the tool support real-time collaboration for remote participants, and are there any interactive features that help keep virtual attendees engaged?
Chris Holm-Hansen
@evelyn_kumsah thanks so much for this Evelyn! And YES! Butter Scenes is purpose-built for real-time collaboration for remote participants! It's jam packed with delightful and interactive features like Open ended questions, various brainstorming formats, pin-on-image functionality, voting, lively reactions and sounds effects, and so much more. You can even integrate tools like Miro or Mural if needed! Would love to hear what you think when you've tried it out, and happy to help with anything along the way 🙌
