- 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.
Pros and Cons
- 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.

It has been a great experience!
Pros and Cons
- 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.
Pros and Cons
- 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.
Pros and Cons
- 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

A great video meeting product at a great price!
Pros and Cons
- 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.
Pros and Cons
- Team meetings.
- Interviews.
- Needs Google Calendar integration.
Pros and Cons
- 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.

Possibly the smoothest video conferencing experience
Pros and Cons
- Very easy to set up one's own named conferencing link.
- All video conferences conducted from the browser - no downloads or logins for guests.
- Call recording is an add-on feature that needs to be purchased separately, even for Pro plans.
- Would be great to have some calendaring integration.

A great video tool for small teams and individuals to use
Pros and Cons
- 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.
Pros and Cons
- 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.

Simple, affordable, easy to use calls and video conferencing.
Pros and Cons
- 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.
