Video chat that doesn't feel like work
Video chat today is built for meetings but you wouldn't have your birthday party around a conference table. Rume re-creates the social dynamic of an in person event where you are easily able to have smaller conversations and fluidly move between groups when you see someone you know.
Rume offered a video chat product described as a more relaxed or unconventional video chat experience. The service appears to be discontinued, with a closing note thanking users for the past two years and indicating the service will disappear.
The product was a video chat service branded as 'Rume' that aimed to provide a different experience from typical work-focused video calls. The textual content emphasizes a sense of play and connection, but there are no concrete technical details or feature descriptions provided in the text. The service has been shut down, and no current functionality is described beyond its prior existence and its closure notice.
