Proton Meet
Geneva, Switzerland
What it is
Proton Meet is a video conferencing service for teams, friends, and family, available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It uses Messaging Layer Security to encrypt audio, video, screen shares, and chats end to end. People outside Proton can join through a meeting link without creating an account. Hosts can blur backgrounds, reduce noise, lock meetings, block new participants, mute audio, stop video, and remove attendees. Meet integrates with Proton Calendar for scheduling calls and appointments. Proton says its apps are fully open source for independent auditing and that it does not retain meeting passwords, audio, video, chat messages, or metadata linking participants after a call. The Free plan is free, billed $0.00 every month, and allows meetings up to 60 minutes, 50 participants, and five meeting links per day. Meet Professional lists meetings up to 24 hours, 100 participants, unlimited daily meetings, screen sharing, chat, appointment scheduling, and recording. Paid pricing starts at $7.99/user/mo (annual).
