Works over MLS and performs well based on personal usage

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.

Interesting to hear both user experience and thoughts on: https://proton.me/blog/meet-security-model

How is this different from Keet?

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

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

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.

Weird that the very first image in the article has a typo ("cancelation" vs cancellation).

> in today’s unstable geopolitical environment, laws like the US CLOUD Act can compel US-owned video conferencing platforms to hand over any data they store, even if the servers reside outside of the United States So does that mean two people using this in the US will both have high latency to another country?

The main thing stopping me from using Proton Meet is I don't like that the booking pages that come with Proton Calendar only show in 24-hour time.

- stupid question: someone is asking me to prove that google, microsoft and zoom are tracking - how do I prove that they are actually not privacy friendly?

I like Proton a lot. But isn’t WebRTC already trivially end to end encrypted? We built an entire encrypted and decentralized peer to peer videoconferencing and livestreaming system years ago, and made it open source so anyone can host it: https://community.qbix.com/t/teleconferencing-and-live-broad...

I would be curious to understand whether they implemented this from scratch or whether they got a whitelabel solution from someone else (and if so, who). I was shocked recently when I looked into this to find out the number of solutions out there.
