Create engaging workshops that combine the best of presentation, interaction, and whiteboarding tools—all in an easy-to-use slide builder. Easy for participants, powerful for you.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Jakob, co-founder and CEO of Butter, and we’re beyond excited to introduce Butter Scenes! 🎉
We’re literally going live with the product today - so you’re the first that’ll see it!
If you’ve ever run a remote workshop or meeting, you know the tech struggle: bouncing between separate tools for whiteboarding, presentations, and activities to keep things engaging. Butter Scenes was born to solve that problem—by bringing all the tools you need into one smooth, easy-to-use interactive presentation tool that works with the video platforms you already use, like Zoom and Google Meet 🔥
💭 Why Butter Scenes? We heard from facilitators that using multiple tools often disrupts the flow and loses participant engagement. So, we designed Scenes to be a complete facilitation toolkit! You get all the features you need to build and facilitate a full interactive presentation or workshop, now with even more power and flexibility.
🤩 What makes Butter Scenes stand out:
- 🧰 Complete toolkit: Everything you need for a successful session—from brainstorming to Q&A, polls, and whiteboarding—no need to switch tools mid-session.
- ⚡️ Simple for participants: One link, no extra logins or downloads—just jump in and collaborate.
- 💃 500% more engagement: Keep participants involved with interactive tools like polls, pin-on-image, and structured canvases for clear, focused collaboration.
- 🔗 Data connections to flow from scene to scene: Carry participant inputs forward to build a cohesive, continuous experience.
- 🧠 AI-powered insights: Quickly summarize and cluster responses, so you can guide discussions with ease.
Butter Scenes is here to help you create workshops that feel joyful and go beyond just ‘getting through it.’ We believe that when participants are truly engaged, collaboration happens naturally—and that’s when the real magic begins 🥳
Scenes also build on top of what we’ve built for years with Butter Video. We’ve already had several amazing launches, and know how incredible the Product Hunt Community is.
- The OG Butter launch back in 2021 - the thing that started it all!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
- Our Butter Mobile launch - probably the weirdest but most awesome video we ever did!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... in 2022
- Our Butter 2.0 launch in 2023 - when we felt like our product was suddenly all grown up!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
This launch is however the biggest since the first one - and maybe even bigger. A totally new product that’s built on our experience in building a tool for remote interactivity and workshops.
Please drop a comment or DM if you want to chat more—we’d love to hear your feedback!
And even better - try out Scenes today!
Cheers,
Jakob & the Butter Team 💛
@jakob_knutzen1 Incredibly proud of the team and what has been pulled together. Scenes is a huge milestone and marks the beginning of a very exciting next chapter for Butter 💛
@jakob_knutzen1 excited to share Scenes to world - it is the distillation of all our learnings and experiences over the past few years. Proud of the team for making this happen!
@jakob_knutzen1 What a HUGE update @jakob_knutzen1! This looks amazing, very excited to give this a try - I can see so many use cases where you don't need in-depth hundreds of tools, but for many use cases what this launch offers could be amazing all in one solution, that does it all! 🙌
Congrats to the whole team and good luck!
I love this — Butter Scenes is a huge update to the Butter 2.0 platform, and makes it super easy for anyone who runs online meetings or workshops to engage their audience with fun new interactive tools — in real time.
If you've ever experienced resting Zoom face — Butter Scenes is the remedy you've been looking for.
To understand what I mean, you've got to watch this:
@chrismessina@jakob_knutzen1 love the product btw folks and moreso, the presentation by Jakob :)
I am surely giving this a try soon! Congrats and enjoy the launch.
Following this closely and the outcome is ButterTastic! Congrats to @jakob_knutzen1 and his team on this amazing tool for facilitators, coaches, creators and community builders. I can't wait to see how far this will go.
Onwards Team!
Thank you so much for this @frankopazo 🙌 The inputs and feedback you've shared have been a huge help for us to get Butter Scenes to the shape it is in today.
Looking forward to seeing what you create in Scenes!
Congrats on the launch @jakob_knutzen1! Scenes looks amazing—I would have killed for this when leading workshops and presentations at IDEO. PS, I love the visual design of the Seen in Scenes page! I always appreciate when a brand uses an event as an opportunity to "loosen the tie" of the parent brand. :)
@bensyverson Woah, this means a lot from a workshop power user like you!
Hehe, yeah - branding has been a bit of a challenge for this, so appreciate you saying that!
I am so proud of the time for pulling through on this one 🥲 Scenes has turned out to be so much more than what I had hoped for - and the list of planned updates, features and improvements is still a mile long!
I cannot wait to see Butter Scenes in use, and look forward to hearing the first reactions.
The vibe and brand of Butter Video, is fully alive in Scenes - looking forward to seeing what you build!
Always happy to answer any comments or questions - and if you come up with new ideas, please hit me up with them!
Happy launch day 🙌
Congratulations on the launch @jakob_knutzen1 and the Butter team. The execution of both this launch, and from I can see in the polish of the Scene designer is a credit to your product, design and engineering team. I was working on something very similar to this at Mural, so I totally understand the problem space and admire the elegant solution - I look forward to really taking it for spin with my team. I would love to see this become a fully extensible platform that can enable the ecosystem to develop simple, rich interactive experiences for teams, on top of those made possible by the existing scene builder UI. I can immediately see the need for generative AI assist to scaffold scenes based on prompts to make the workflow feel more magical - I think we're ready for that and I'm sure it's something you've been thinking about. Again, huge kudos and congrats on the launch!
@r3trosteve Woah, this is such a lovely comment! Means so much coming from you!
We're done A LOT to make it pretty polished, even for launch!
And yeah, GenAI is up next on our list - soooo many uses. Coming within the next 2-3 weeks, we just couldn't polish it enough for our launch!
@r3trosteve Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! 🎉 So happy to hear it resonates with someone who knows the space so well.
We definitely have GenAI on our list -- watch this space!
@r3trosteve thank you so much for the kudos - really appreciate this 🙏
Some great thoughts on future opportunities! Very much agree with your takes on leveraging AI within Scenes to smoothen the creation experience and bring more creativity would be super valuable!
@stefan_bader This is sweet buttery music to my ears (reminds me: music coming to Scenes shortly!) 🙌 Always a pleasure working with you and the rest of team Cello 💛
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!
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!!
@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
@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!
@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!
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 👏
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?
@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!
@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!
@rachel_davis4 😻 🙏 🥹 my goodness Rachel!
I am super thankful having you on the side as we were building Butter Scenes - your constant encouragement, positive and constructive feedback as well as thoughtful ideas have been massively helpful!
Thank you so much for being a part of this, and sharing what you love the most so far! And yes - there will be lots more (you know us too well 😅)
Looking forward to many more sessions in Butter!
@rachel_davis4 You give the MOST thoughtful answers, Rachel! Thanks for your constant support and creativity -- really appreciate how you challenge us to improve the product and community! 💛
We couldn't have done this without people like you by our side. Thanks for being there since Day 1. Onwards! 🚀
