A great conversation can change your life and Volley makes it easy to have one. Use Volley for group and team communication or for individual coaching and consulting. How does it work? In Volley, you take turns just like any other conversation, except you record your turn with video (a volley) in a threaded conversation. It’s like texting and talking had a genetically gifted baby. Unlike chat tools like Discord or Slack – Volley’s core experience is based on face-to-face video messaging which creates more value and enables quick, frictionless communication (no keyboard required). Unlike video conferencing tools like Zoom or FaceTime – Volley is asynchronous, which means you can participate on your own time without having to coordinate schedules or book your time. Unlike social feeds like Facebook or Circle – Volley allows you to talk with your community instead of merely posting at them. Use Volley for: - Collaboration with your remote team - On-demand coaching for your busy executive clients - An interactive watercolor painting experience for your VIP fans - The communication hub for your side-hustle - A discussion group for your personal finance courses - Premium back-stage experience for your comedy podcast fans - Emotional support group for crypto HODL’ers - Whatever moves you If you run into snags, hit us up at support@volleyapp.com
