I highly recommend using solutions based on WebRTC, which is present in all modern browsers and is really good (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFil-ZPE0-g for a comparison with Zoom).

Whereby (formerly appear.in) https://whereby.com/ has a really nice and simple system. No more jumping through a dozen hoops, no more installing software with glaring security holes and borderline malware behavior (looking at you, Zoom).

Whereby charges you if you have more than 4 participants.

Seems fair!

Well, yes — and? I expect every sustainable business to charge money, otherwise it will disappear when it runs out of VC funding or enthusiasm.

I guess I thought it was relevant in a thread about zoom which allows 100 participants for free.
