Videocall is a strong option, but it is not the right fit for everyone. Below are 10 alternatives compared on rating, install base, pricing and the use case each one actually wins on.
Free video calls in your browser, talk, chat and share files in one click, with no installs and no meeting links. Videocall lets you call friends, family and coworkers straight from the toolbar. Sign in once, add people by username, and start a call with a single click, they get a notification, accept it, and you're already talking. WHAT YOU GET • One-click calls from the toolbar, no meeting links, no downloads, no waiting rooms • Crystal-clear video and audio over a direct peer-to-peer WebRTC connection • Built-in chat during the call, send messages without leaving the window • Instant file sharing, drop a photo, document or screenshot right into the conversation • Contacts list with username search, find people once, call them forever • Native browser notifications for incoming calls, even when the tab is in the background • Unread message counter on the toolbar icon, never miss a chat • Mic and camera controls that stay out of the way until you need them • Interface in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, switchable on the fly • Privacy-first: calls go directly between you and the other person, nothing is recorded
