<p><em>Why starting another video conf tool?</em></p>
<p>
During the Corona pandemic I tried to create a peer-to-peer solution for
home schooling called
<a href="/goto/peer-school">peer.school</a>. Although the project has
been retired for various reasons, I learned so much about WebRTC and
video/audio communication, that I did want to reuse this knowledge in
this project.
</p>
<p><em>Why is it free and Open Source?</em></p>
<p>
Only a free project does not require the user to create an account and
unveil payment information, that could be used to identify that person.
This is why the project is free and will remain free, as long as no
additional costs like maintaining TURN servers etc. will require some
funding. If you want to support me and the project directly you can
<a href="/goto/paypal">via PayPal</a>. If you are interested in
sponsoring please contact me at
<a href="mailto:briefing@holtwick.de" target="_blank" class="url"
>briefing@holtwick.de</a
>.
</p>
<p>
<em>Which servers are actually involved in a call?</em>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Briefing web site (provides the web app)</li>
<li>Briefing signaling server (coordinates peers in rooms)</li>
<li>Briefing STUN/TURN server (helps traversing fire walls)</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Feature X is missing! Found bug Y!</em></p>
<p>
Please visit the
<a href="/goto/issues">GitHub project</a> to see if your request is
already on the list or place a <a href="/goto/bug">new issue</a>. Your
contribution is of course welcome as well.
</p>
<p><em>How about native apps?</em></p>
<p>
Frankly this is not required, because your browser can handle it all.
You can of course put Briefing on your home screen e.g. in iOS Safari
tap on the &quot;Share&quot; icon and choose &quot;Add to Home
Screen&quot;. You can do the same in browsers like Google Chrome
