Honestly... No thanks. It's 2026, those who do not own a domain name should buy one an run their own Matrix/XMPP server.

Or you can just run Jitsi Meet. E2EE is built in but you also have control of the server and the traffic to and from is encrypted

The launch of Proton Meet officially eliminates the lazy excuse that securing real-time WebRTC media at scale is "too hard" for modern enterprise platforms. Hopefully this forces the hands of Slack, Teams, and Google to stop treating E2EE as a premium afterthought and start offering it as a standard option for the modern web.

Slack, Teams and Google are meaningfully making this choice and that's because customers rarely care and yes, many of customers do prefer the server side transcriptions, recording and AI note taking.

most of the world has no need and no desire to do any of that. and i dont blame them, either. this is super-nerd level of advice.

proton meet is already targeting a really niche set of customers, and you're taking it to another level.

I wish Proton would focus on all of the missing features within their existing product suite before creating even more offerings to maintain

Sometimes yes. But with Meet? No. I was really waiting for this!

I actually appreciate how they balance features and new products. They are becoming more credible MS365/Google Workspace alternatives with every step.

This must integrate with Proton's appointment scheduling feature, no? That's a feature offered as part of their Workplace Standard and Workplace Premium plans. Does anyone have experience with that feature? How does it compare to the Microsoft Office 365 bookings feature? Honestly couldn't do my job without something like this manage my stacked schedule.

We at Sourcemeta (https://www.sourcemeta.com) are in the Proton business plan. The "Talk to an expert" and "Schedule Consultation" buttons in the main page point to my (the founder) calendar to book a slot.

No complains from it so far. People get it, book with success, and I run those calls on Proton Meet, which also proved to work pretty well.
