Show HN: Remotion – Quick video chat for remote teams (macOS only)

Hey folks,<p>I’m Alexander, cofounder of Remotion. We help teams get into quick video chats instead of scheduling meetings or texting. This makes remote collaboration faster and less isolating.<p>We’re in beta (macOS only for now) and looking for as much feedback as possible. If you’re up for a 15 min video demo&#x2F;call to share your thoughts and maybe onboard, please email me at alexander [at] remotion [dot] com. Alternatively, if you’d rather just try the product, feel free to sign up directly and shoot me a note with feedback.<p>Interesting data point from beta thus far: 47% of conversations are &lt;10 minutes—people are getting unblocked and saving time instead of spending hours in Zoom or Slack.<p>Thanks!

I&#x27;ve been using Remotion for the past 2 weeks with my startup twingate.com. Here are my thoughts thus far:<p>- It only works if enough people remember to open it every day. We started with just our frontend team of 4 people and since we&#x27;re at the end of a sprint and doing a lot of code reviews it&#x27;s been getting a lot of activity.<p>- It&#x27;s more viral than I thought. We went from 4&#x2F;25 to 12&#x2F;25 teammates using it in the past week. I typically join a call maybe once a day, but I&#x27;m seeing other teammates jump on a call every hour (just saw two people start talking while I was typing this comment).<p>- The UI is small so it&#x27;s fairly easy to ignore (especially on a big monitor)<p>- Since videos are limited to a small circle, ending calls after 5 minutes feels more natural than ending a Zoom call<p>- Screen sharing is pretty good, but you can&#x27;t limit sharing to just one app<p>My theory on why Remotion has picked up so quickly with our team: Working remotely can be lonely. By no means does this <i>solve</i> loneliness, but it definitely gives you back a slice of that working-in-an-office vibe.

My wife&#x27;s company has been using Remotion and she says it&#x27;s sped up decision making and helped the team feel closer together
