"We all need a little time to relax and breathe. Grab yourself a book, your sketchpad, or relax your way with Mighty Vibes, Critical Role's homage to "beats to relax/study to" from Chilledcow. Enjoy a carefully curated playlist of chill tunes to help put your mind at ease, paired with relaxing animation by Kami and Kevin Areopagita."

Mighty Vibes premiered during the programming hiatus caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. It features a minimally animated scene of one or two members of the Mighty Nein or Vox Machina backed by lo-fi music tracks by a variety of artists, edited by Chris Willmott and interspersed with in-character commentary from the cast.
The animation for Episode 5 (released 9 April 2021) was provided by Lap Pun Cheung.
