-I’m tired of Zoom’s obnoxious yelling about its AI features and general bloatedness.
-I’m trying to reduce how much I use Google/Microsoft stuff, which includes Google Meet and Teams.
-I don’t think I’ve heard about anyone using Skype since approximately 2010, and it’s owned by Microsoft now anyway.
-Fuck Meta and all its products.
-I like Facetime the best of everything I’ve used, but that only works if an Apple user starts the call, and I don’t love Apple as a company anymore either.
I’m guessing there are some nice non-bloated apps out there that aren’t run by giant tech corporations. So what’s your favorite app for video calls?
proton meet.
Jami?
Signal? Element (Matrix)?
Jitsi meet, fluxer
Signal. Or Proton Meet for meetings.
I’ve used signal for video calling quite a few times and while video quality can be randomly poor it works just fine
Session It’s like Signal, but EU made and more private. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’s getting there.
Matrix. Many apps available, Element is quite simple yet charming.
