Goodbye, generic video chat! Virtual Venue lets you embed a branded virtual event space directly into your website. Instead of a hard-to-find Zoom link, create a persistent home where your community can gather.

I've been wishing for something like this! I own a boutique real estate company, and this is perfect for virtual house tours! So much more professional and seamless to have it right in my website! Great idea, and Thanks!

@laura_hillman_edelman awesome! Thank you so much!

Wow, awesome job guys. The UI looks very simple and clean (so important, but NOT easy!) and I can see this being invaluable to coaches, consultants and many more. Embedding on the website makes so much sense as we enter the era of 'clubhouse'. I volunteer with a group that puts on (now virtual) events about 4x per year. Our events are very popular and well-received but the constant feedback is there needs to be more networking. Zoom just does NOT fulfill this need, not by a long shot. I think I saw a breakout room function on your website, but I would identify that as a big opportunity in the market. Best of luck :)

@shesmaddie thank you! Breakout rooms are coming soon!

@shesmaddie How do you see this being different from Zoom, even with breakout rooms? The main differences pointed out so far have to do with branding, surrounding web elements, and discoverability, otherwise the actual meeting environment itself feels just like Zoom (grid view of talking heads). I like the improvements for admins over zoom, I just don't see how it's so much better in the meeting experience itself.

@shesmaddie @luckylou a part of what makes the difference isn't tangible or enumerable. You really have to participate in an intentionally curated virtual space to feel what makes that experience unique.
Maddie Lee
@luckylou I was more speaking to the fact that for live events, Zoom does not have networking capabilities. What I was trying to say is that if they can find a way to provide a better networking experience - they would be tackling an opportunity in the market (though I know many platforms with some kind of networking capabilities are starting to gain popularity)
Luis Antezana
@shesmaddie I would also appreciate a better networking feature but what's currently present in the actual meeting experience has zero difference from Zoom. You're still either in grid or speaker view in a single session. So if people have Zoom fatigue this does nothing for that, beyond adding a logo and color customization to the meeting chrome. As for networking, their breakout rooms feature isn't active yet, so it actually has less networking than Zoom. I'm fine enough with what it does have, especially the web embed, so I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to see if there's something I wasn't grasping after spending time in the beta/pre-launch.

I love how it's embeddable. Not sure if any other products do that.
Miraya Berke
@arshaw thanks! You work hard on your brand, now you can bring your community back to your website.

* It's not what you say, but how you say it! * I love the options that Mixily is opening up around online events. It's like a secret sauce. As an event leader I care about EVERY detail of each experience I design: location, timing, invite list, content, mood, temperature, sounds, flow....you get the picture! A platform that lets you craft a truly thoughtful and unique online environment to deliver your experience is a dream come true for planners, and attendees. Stanford completely redesigned their approach to hospital design when they understood the positive healing effects imparted through color, flow, sound and access to nature. Zoom launched Zaps to reduce fatigue and provide a moment of recharging between the torrent of non-stop meetings. Mixily is enabling planners to bring these concepts to virtual events. Go Mixily!

@jeanette_price thank you so much! As a fellow event planning I feel the same way. IRL we have so much control, now we're giving back some aspects of customization when gathering online. Can't wait for your feedback once you try it out!
Dima Ofman
@jeanette_price Thanks! We are excited to give hosts more artisanal control over their creations.
Paul Sawaya
Really impressed by the effort Andrew has put in getting to know the needs of event hosts with Mixily. He knows this space inside and out, so I'm sure this will be the best product for hosting virtual events out there.
Jason Robertson
@paul_sawaya2 Thanks so much Paul! We've learned a lot from some great folks!
