It's funny, because a friend of mine wanted to video chat yesterday. I wanted to use Hangouts, but he doesn't have an Google account (he's a director of his own company so he lives and dies with the company email), in the end he said: - No problem we'll just use Teams. Not having to create an account was kind of mind-blowing for me (in the "where's is the business incentive in not taking my email, and spamming it?!" kind of way).

You should try https://meet.jit.si. Started using it this week, works great with no login necessary. And open source :)

Crashed the tab for me on Safari and they themselves say it's Chome only.

Will be following it though!

It apparently does work in Firefox, but only at higher bitrate HD mode so it's not great if you don't have the bandwidth.

While I don't see too many people take advantage of it, you can make a Google account without an associated Gmail account. You just have to choose "Use my current email address instead" on the signup page[1].

https://www.skype.com/en/free-conference-call/ has had web video calling with no sign up for years now, although they were terrible at advertising it, because when they re-told everyone last week it was reported by almost every tech site as a new feature

Skype for business, zoom, WebEx all don't require you to give an email to join a meeting.
