Overview
Whereby is a video conferencing tool with a key differentiator: participants never download anything. Each room is a permanent URL — you share the link and anyone can join directly in their browser. For consultants who want to reduce friction in client meetings, this is significant. The free plan includes 1 permanent meeting room for unlimited 1:1 calls. Whereby also offers embedded video rooms, allowing you to host meetings directly inside your own product or website.
