"Great and Hassle free Video Conferencing System"
- It provides us a mobile-friendly, user-friendly option for office hours-style meetings.
- It makes communicating with a team easy when working remotely and allows you to jump into the room and talk with someone about a project.
- Whereby has a super pleasant UX and overall interface.
- I didn't like that I didn't have the ability to automatically record, it was a manual process.
- I couldn't capture or register the attendees of my events.
- In the free version, it's very lightweight and lacks features and hence not viable for larger meetings.
You don't necessarily need all the features to be the best video conference software out there
- Nice browser based UI
- URL reservation
- Easy to get started for non-techies
- Rather more room for free users. Four people is limiting considering the competition.
- Better marketing. People know Zoom but not Whereby.
- Have native client apps.
- Audio/Video settings
- No install option
- Easy to use
- Disseminate the solution further
- The name is weird
- The UI (it remembers Sherwood forest, to me)
- Very easy to use.
- Very easy to create an account.
- It has the same basic features as other robust programs.
- Allow more participants online in the videoconference.
Whereby is easy and thoughtfully designed
- Simple access
- Reactions with emojis come up on your screen.
- Custom made rooms.
- Sometimes blocked by external users because of security settings on their computer.
- Account attached to my person e-mail not professional.
- No download
- Drag-and-drop windows help keep track of who has given their update in stand-ups
- Ability to collaborate on Google Docs and Spreadsheets within one video conferencing window
- Arrangement of user windows doesn't always make the best use of the available screen area.
- More integrations for live collaboration in shared-screen mode.
Whereby is a strong video platform for remote teams to use.
- Directly click on a link to join a video call
- Great interface
- Does not allow people to dial-in to calls
- Is best supported only through Google Chrome, so many users have issues joining
Give it a go--easy-peasy
- Ease of loading the app
- No codes or silly time wasting with getting connected
- I was disappointed when they removed the fun icons which were on Appear.In.
- They have since replaced them but with very boring ones!
Simple, one-click access to an always on video meeting room.
- Simple to connect
- User friendly
- Audio quality is not great (compared to our dedicated VOIP lines)
- Video quality is great in a small room (4 locations--point-to-point) but degrades in larger rooms. We are based in Australia, and I believe the server is in Europe.
A great video meeting product at a great price!
- Easy to use.
- Accessible anywhere without product downloads.
- The ability to add more seats. The current cap is 12. I would like up to 30 or more.
- It should have the ability to record conversation internally. I use a 3rd part software.
It has been a great experience!
- It's very easy to join the meeting.
- You can customize links, which is great!
- There are sometimes connection issues.
- It'd be great if there were more add-ons or features you could use.
- Team meetings.
- Interviews.
- Needs Google Calendar integration.
- Great, simple UI.
- Very high-quality video. Better than Google Hangouts (or whatever they call it these days), and I consider it a comparable product.
- The paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform.
- I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings.
A great video tool for small teams and individuals to use
- Browser-based, you don't need to download any software so it's easy to use
- Video quality, we haven't had any issues.
- Screen sharing: easily lets you share your desktop with others.
- Sometimes the video and sound lag a little bit.
- The mobile app doesn't quite work as well as the desktop version.
- When you screen share, it doesn't fill the screen so you have to get used to seeing things smaller.
Simple, affordable, easy to use calls and video conferencing.
- Easy to use: The app is very, very easy to use. Literally just create a chat room (input a name) and access it to chat.
- Call/video quality: I've experienced better call quality on appear.in than in almost all other chat and video conferencing services out there.
- Feature-wise, none that I can think of.
