Whereby Reviews

Whereby allows you to stay connected and productive while on the go. You can use it as a webcam or microphone, allowing you to make video calls on all your favorite platforms without having to worry about compatibility issues.One of the main benefits of using Whereby is that it's free. Because it's a cloud-based application, there are no costly upgrades or monthly fees to use it. The app is also available across all devices, which means you can get to your information from any device that has an Internet connection.

The free version is limited in features and not suited for larger meetings.

Whereby has a user-friendly and simple-to-use interface? It is easy to set up a meeting and send invitations. You can receive notifications when users enter the room (customizable). Rooms can be locked or open, which is convenient to give you more control over who can come in. The quality and speed are standard, however, I had to deal with broken-up communication more often than with Zoom. At first, I thought web-based technology would not be great, but it turned out to work well and be rather user-friendly.

Resources, features, and functionalities are more limited than Zoom. It was always a bit frustrating not to be able to share a specific window but to share the whole screen (at least from Safari). The background image (called "effect" instead of background image, which is the frame image and not what appears behind you)is limited to a few preselected ones, and you cannot choose your own picture.

You can create personalized rooms for your teams/company and use the room to meet anyone

They brought an unnecessary limit to the number of people that can attend meetings at once, then we had to stop using it. Also, the mobile version was not good at all.

Is really easy to use, for us it was the key to migrate to appear.in

Has come troubles with new camera configurations, and when I have 2 o more webcam connected.
The same with heaphones. I have my laptop connected with Bosse Quitecomfort Bluethoot, another Bluethoot speakers and plgged headphones and thats causing troubles.

I use this software everyday with multiple teams and it's always very stable. Sharing screen or just having a meeting is always a pleasure.

Nothing, we never had issues that compromised our work.

The key selling point of appear.in is surely its one-click magic. You just have to click on the link and that's it - you are in and have already started video conferencing. This is the most important thing when you want to interview lots of users for your product research, and don't want to bother them installing third party software.

It can be buggy sometimes, sound will not work properly on occasion, but nothing too serious.

I love this easy to use there's no software to buy or app to download you just go to your browser and get your own personalized URL and send invitations you can view schedules and RSVPs and send messages you can create a waiting room and the people have to knock to enter which is great you can schedule with Google calendar you can also record and share and you can have up to 100 people they have several different options for plans plus a free so it's absolutely great

The free version doesn't have as great a features and it doesn't seem to work with the Safari browser that great and sometimes the sound and quality can be not perfect let's say

Love appear.in and using it with Fit Armadillo clients. In the past other technologies kept people from engaging in our services due to the complexities of having to log in. Appear.in has been wonderful for our clients and staff and made things easy!

There can be many different types of technology and settings and sometimes the basic tips don’t help all users. Not really appear.in’s fault though!

Its objective is to provide video conference at low cost. It is very cheap and still provides all the basic features one would expect from a video conference tool. It is easy to connect, doesn't require any app installations and works directly from a browser. UI is very minimalistic and well optimised. Well suited for small team up to 50 members.

It doesnt have some important features like noise cancellation, call transcription, live captions, etc. Screen sharing can be laggy sometimes. However with regular updates its getting better and adding more features.

It's been really easy to set up an interview between our clients (hiring managers) and the candidates, you don't have to ask for Skype users and go back and forward with emails sharing that information, you only have to set up a "conference room" and share that link, that's it!

It's almost perfect, I just wish there's some chrome extension or email/calendar client plug-in to make it even easier.

Video as well as audio is really good. We can customize the meetings page with our favourite colours and background images. The software works without any lag.

It would be great if Whereby could add show more people on one screen. Also, should upgrade the mobile application in terms of user-interface.

I like how simply I can start video conferencing just from my browser no more installation of any kind of software.
Signing with Google is always appreciated and I also tell people to use google sign-in.
I just shared my room and my team can join video conferencing with me in no time.
I found all the data they have on me can be downloaded, which is another good thing to have.
I like the image quality and it is good.

I don't like how anyone with the link can join the conference, and I want to see adding permission before joining the conference.
Video gets out of sync with the audio and I have to restart the room to get all the things working again. Maybe it needs a high quality computer to work.

So easy to use, and requires little effort to get connected. Also people you are connecting with do not need an account, all you have to do is send a link and they are in the meeting. I really love the simplicity and the custom room makes it fancy to me. It’s worth the money

There really isn’t much to dislike with Whereby. My only gross is that the limit of four people isn’t really ideal for people who work with big companies.

I think overall the best feature appear.in has is that fact that guests (meeting attendees) don't have to register or download the program, like Zoom for example...

A client I was working with recently insisted on using appear.in for meetings and I easily became frustrated with its many issues, starting with the video quality issues and sound issues, regardless of working on a strong internet connection. Needs much improvement in that sense. FYI, I work on Google Chrome for Mac running on Mojave 10.14.4

With so many video collaboration tools available in the market, appear.in is not doing something new. But I feel they are just doing it in a simpler way keeping the basics right. They are not offering too many features but when it comes to video calls with multiple users, its streaming is very good even at low bandwidth

Might have to add more features to collaborate

• Easy usability.
• Quality of calls and shares.
• It is hardly blocked within companies.
• Creation of individual rooms.
• Very good acquisition cost.

• Customers with little knowledge have difficulty using the system.
• Plugin installation is complicated for inexperienced users.
• In the paid plan only 12 participants are allowed, which is not feasible for some businesses.
• It does not allow to take command of the user screen.

The ease of use and guest access without having to download buggy software locally

While it's so fast to get up and running, I do wish there were built in recording features and a few other bells and whistles present in other conferencing solutions like Zoom.

Couldn't be any easier to use! I am able to send a link to a participant and they can jump right in. The ability to also share my screen is awesome!

The limit to only four participants for the free version is certainly a bummer. The inability to disable stickers for a room can also cause issues at times.

High quality video conferencing with multiple devices, unsurpassed connectivity with little bandwidth usage

Impossibility to connect users of other platforms or applications
