The facts, in one place
- Who it's for
- Independent podcasters, interview hosts, and editors who need remote guests to feel present — and clean per-side local sources for the edit, not a cloud mixdown.
- What you need
- A modern browser, a camera, and a solid uplink. For a big screen, cast or mirror from your phone or PC.
- Seats
- Free up to 4 · Pro up to 12 · Cinema up to 32.
- Resolution
- Follows your hardware and network. 4K/8K is not guaranteed on every call.
- Connectivity
- Direct peer-to-peer. Free has no TURN relay, so some strict networks (hard NAT) may not connect.
- Smart TV
- Cast or mirror only. There is no Smart TV store app.
- Apps
- Native apps are in development. The browser is the path today.
- Not for
- Emergency use. See Terms.
