I did 230 people in remo for my Seattle Angel Conference.?
Most people had never seen it before. So it was weird?for them coming in.?
But it was a "relief from zoom". That was our number one comment.?
It helps to do a bit of prep work. We did a mixer the night before, so many of the participants came in and did their fumbling at the mixer instead of at the big event.?
It automatically assigns you to a table, so it takes time to figure things out.?
And you come in with audio and video off.?
So they have to turn it on.?
Some small number of folks can't get their audio or video working.
It works best with chrome. You may have to have people restart their browser if it locks up. A Few people had that problem.
We set up a Support table where people could ask questions.?
In smaller groups, we wander to each table to coach them on how to use the tool.
On the big groups, we did a customer video to do the same thing.?
You do not have a mute button for people with bad audio. It only effects the local table, but it can be a problem. So you have to ask people to turn off audio sometimes.?
It has several interesting features including white boards, the ability to move around and the ability to call people to the stage.
Pricing is moving and is a bit expensive (to me).? I am at the Producer level to support long enough events with up to 500 people.?
A competitor is Airmeet, which is in beta.?
I am using remo for all my workshops at the moment to get mingling.?
I may fall back to another tool for the small groups and only use remo for the big events.?
There are tools that are much bigger than remo , aimed for multi-day conferences. Remo is in the middle between zoom on one end and hopin on the other end.?
