Side by side
Browser-based video meetings linked to Google Calendar, with recording, captions and breakout rooms on paid Workspace plans.
A self-hosted peer-to-peer WebRTC meeting app with browser rooms, screen sharing, chat, whiteboard and recording, and no time limits.
Free calls are time-limited for groups, and recording and larger meetings need higher Workspace tiers.
Peer-to-peer meshes degrade beyond a handful of participants, and it is mainly one developer's project under AGPL.
