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.

Great idea and execution. Have had friends hosting branded events, workshops, etc looking for a product like this all year. Now I know exactly where to send them!
great idea - makes video conferencing feel a little more like ... an IRL meetup! Design looks great too :)
@ni_e_sha yes! Once you customize your venue you'll get an auto generated code block, just copy and paste.
@ni_e_sha I can vouch for Wordpress integration too >> https://realitybites.club/virtua...
@saxty @ni_e_sha The videos are aired and hosted via Mixily! No need for Zoom or another tool. Here's an example, just Click to Join and you're in the Venue https://www.mixily.com/venue/piz...
@sonalinigamnyc thank you! Excited to see what fun events you host filled with cute dogs!
I can see some useful use case of this product for sure. I would certainly like to check how it improves the engagement on the website and provides a better user experience.
@ishwarjha awesome! give it a try and let us know what you think! you can keep your community on your website longer and direct them to your call to actions after meetings/evenst.
This is lit! Love it!! Need this for my small business - customized yoga video class :)
Simple webGL video conferencing is going to take over the world--looking forward to tryin this!
This looks extremely useful. It sucks that everyone and their grandma has had to learn to use Zoom, it should be possible to just join events on a website.
@alex_rubystone totally! click to join and you're in. we hope to make it easier for everyone, including grandma.
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.
@paul_sawaya2 Thanks so much Paul! We've learned a lot from some great folks!
This is EXACTLY what this space has been missing. I'm so tired of hunting for links and i love the idea of a set meeting place for my community!
After a quick try (more to follow!) this looks great. Solves a problem we've been trying to solve for awhile now, at a price point that's hard to beat! Great job!
LOVE our Virtual Studios at realitybites.club - the team at Mixily have been a dream to build and create with. If you're hosting events on Zoom right now - stop, get Mixily.
@saxty thank you for being a part of this with us from the beginning. Your virtual studios are stunning!
Congrats guys!
I've tried Mixily and I'm so excited to see where this is going to go!
Definitely one to watch 👀 !!!
@mukhtarmohamoud thank you!! We love your product too. Elevated virtual events, here we come!
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 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.
@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)
@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.
