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.”
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.
