Communication

Whereby

Browser-based video meetings.

What it is

Whereby is a European-owned video calling service sold in two distinct products, and the difference matters when comparing it. Meetings is the browser-based product for individuals and teams: instant calls, permanent room links that stay the same between meetings, basic customisation, and no download or account required for guests. Embedded is a separate developer product that puts video calls inside another company's application, either through a pre-built UI reached from an iframe or web component in about three lines of code, or through the SDK for a fully custom interface, with programmatic room creation, cloud recording, AI transcriptions without recording, pre-call device checks, file sharing, chat and usage analytics. Both are built in Europe, GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, and can be implemented to meet HIPAA requirements.
