Say bye to Zoom gloom, hello to active participation!

Butter is the most engaging and collaborative alternative to Zoom. Facilitate like a rockstar and unleash active engagement in your trainings—far beyond what's possible on Zoom. Because there’s no such thing as “Butter fatigue.”

But we’re not here to 💩 on Zoom.

Everyone uses Zoom. It was a simple way for us to connect during the early days of the pandemic. It became the verb for calling each other online.

But Zoom fatigue is real. Zoom was built for convenient video calls, not for hosting interactive workshops, collaborating on big ideas, or fostering engagement.

So our goal isn’t to convince you that Butter = good and Zoom = bad. We’re just going to share when you might want to use one versus the other.

Easily amp up the energy
Say goodbye to that grid of tired faces. Butter keeps participants engaged with emoji reactions, polls, flashcards, and next-level breakouts.
Structure what you need ahead and say bye to repetitive setup
Reduce the stress of facilitating a session. Create the perfect flow with customizable templates, and pre-loaded tools and agenda. Reuse it across your team for different sessions. Then, access convenient recaps instantly after your session!
Stop juggling so many tools
Keep everyone focused on one window and one outcome. Work on Miro, MURAL, Google Docs, and more—all inside the Butter window. No extra add-ons, tabs, tools, or links required.

They said it, not us…
