Was getting annoyed having to work out which video call platform to use for intro meetings, so I’m currently working on

https://simplevc.blazingbanana.com.

It’s a private, simple browser video chat. No accounts. You can create a new chat or join via link/code. It also has in browser transcription using Whisper (using https://github.com/huggingface/candle/).

Currently fighting getting background blur to work smoothly on Chrome on Android, which is proving surprisingly harder than getting browser transcription working...

Also still working on small updates to Whistle, a free offline transcription app available on all platforms (with CUDA builds for Windows/Linux)

Have you come across Jitsi? Might get you a long way faster than rebuilding for yourself from scratch.

The name rings a bell but I hadn't looked in a long while. The videobridge might be very useful when I look to expand from just 1-2-1 video calls, so thanks for the nudge in that direction.

I know it's stuff that's been done before, but it's fun seeing how this stuff works and fits together, along with the limitations you have within a browser environment.
