Virtual Venue by Mixily — Host custom video gatherings right in your website
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.

@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.
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!
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.
@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...
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!
WOW, With my company we are currently presenting at an online exhibition
and this morning we were just asking "how can we embed virtual events in our website once the exhibition is over?"
Your product is great, we'll definitely try it out.
@stefano_terna we're very excited about facilitating new virtual experiences and giving the host more ownership of the whole process!
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!
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 so cool! As a mortgage banker I am constantly setting meetings with clients to discuss one of the biggest decisions of their life - buying/financing a home. A quick video call is usually a great way to make the clients feel more comfortable and I have been looking for a way to customize the experience of video meetings, so this will be such a great tool!
@jqrobertson let me know when you're looking for your next place and I'll be happy to help with the mortgage! Feel free to send friends/family my way to refinance or buy as well - I can hop on a quick Virtual Video call to review anyone's options!
I’ve been hosting my membership community events right in my website using Mixily’s virtual venue and I LOVE IT. It feels like I’m inviting guests to my own private co-working space that I’ve decorated, rather than a generic meeting room that we’re all so used to seeing by now. I feel like this adds a really unique element to my events and makes them feel way more exclusive!!
@allisonkpkt yay yes! Thanks so much for being an early user with us Allison! I love your Pomodoro Parties right on your website.
@allisonkpkt Thank you! We believe digital gathering spaces should be an expression and extension of your community and we're very excited to be working toward that.
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!
Myself and my theater company, Manual Cinema, worked closely with Mixily developing and then deploying their Virtual Venue feature. We got nothing but positive feedback about Virtual Venue from our audience members (1000+ users), and as the manager of the event, it was always easy to use. I'd also like to point out that Mixily offered INCREDIBLE customer service to our audience members over the course of our 3 week theatrical run. If you run virtual (or IRL) ticketed events, you know how important this is!
@ben_kauffman thank you so much! We loved being a part of your awesome Christmas Carol performances.
@ben_kauffman thanks Ben! It was truly an honor to be even a small part of that production!
* 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!
@jeanette_price Thanks! We are excited to give hosts more artisanal control over their creations.
great idea - makes video conferencing feel a little more like ... an IRL meetup! Design looks great too :)
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!
