Any page with actual details? This just says "download brave", which I don't want to do.

if you are running brave browser, it just allows you to launch a video call, gives you a link to share

does brave route calls through their own server or is this also p2p?

Cool. Then don't. Stay uninformed for as long as possible then rush to play catch up in ten years.

It is very strange that they don't even try to give non-brave users any details.

Sounds like a good idea. We need more competition-- and if it increases privacy, all the better.

I think the main problem I (Along with many others I know) have with zoom is that it basically requires you to download and install something before you can join a call. Obviously you can call in but if you want good quality video you have to download their app. Being forced to download the Brave browser in order to join a call just seems like blatantly unreasonable bar of entry. If blocking website ads wasn’t enough for me to download the browser, video calls with only other people who have download the browser certainly won’t be either.
