Video Calling alternatives

Alternatives to: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Skype

All the big tech companies offer free video calling, and harvest your data as the true price. Even Zoom does this, after they got so big during the pandemic. Avoid the creepy tracking by switching to one of these alternatives:

App name	Open Source	Structure; Business model	Features	Country of origin	Link
Jitsi Meet	Yes	Open source but owned by 8x8 Inc.; Free	E2EE; Great video call quality; You just need a browser	USA	Jitsi Meet
SenfCall	Yes	Open Source; Free / donations	Built using BigBlueButton's open source software; You just need a browser; Student side project, so support is minimal	Germany	Senfcall.de
Whereby	No	Private company; Freemium	Easy hosted service; 30 min cap on meetings in free tier	Norway	Whereby.com
Signal	Yes	Charity non-profit; Free / donations	Reliable; Group calls; Built into the chat app you're probably already using; Fully E2EE	USA	Signal.org
