# Proton launches Proton Meet **URL:** https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/proton-launches-proton-meet/30736 **Category:** General **Tags:** software **Created:** 2025-09-03T15:45:23Z **Posts:** 138 ## Post 1 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T15:45:23Z Right now for visionary users only but after a debacle with [Proton opts for Zoom videoconferencing](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/proton-opts-for-zoom-videoconferencing/24569) . Proton now launches their own video conferencing app. ![protonmeet](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/2X/5/56f87557b42e3ee8e4fab4250290e6d49769ec85.png) I could not find a public announcement yet. --- ## Post 2 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T15:47:52Z If called Proton Meet, then it must be a fork of Jitsi Meet, no? I hope so. And this was about time. A key part of business communication these days. I’m happy with it. Albeit, the usual complaints about them still stands - improve the existing products more, more Linux support, and for the love of all that is private and secure, release Sheets. --- ## Post 3 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T15:50:27Z > [@anon57862721](#): > > If called Proton Meet, then it must be a fork of Jitsi Meet, no? I hope so. I am very happy to inform you that your assumption seems based on nothing. It in fact does look a lot better. A lot more like Google Meet in fact. --- ## Post 4 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T15:51:33Z > [@ph00lt0](#): > > I am very happy to inform you that your assumption seems based on nothing. Well, it was atleast not unreasonable to assume that given the name. But alright.. :confused: --- ## Post 5 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T15:52:43Z Well I am very happy that Proton Meet actually is build with default e2ee unlike jitsi who still doesn’t have it out of beta. --- ## Post 7 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T15:54:57Z I also hope that anyone can join Proton Meet meetings and not be forced to sign in or sign up with Proton. In this case, this functionality would mimic Zoom. --- ## Post 8 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T15:58:07Z > [@ph00lt0](#): > > I could not find a public announcement yet. My pedantry can be insufferable sometimes but this comment and your title post appear to be in contradiction. If Proton has not announced anything officially, it has not launched it yet. Proton to launch Proton Meet\* perhaps? --- ## Post 9 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T15:59:19Z it is launched for visonary users only…. --- ## Post 10 by @anon73250778 — 2025-09-03T15:59:27Z IIRC Visionary subscribers are usually given early access to features and in this case, products. --- ## Post 11 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T16:00:12Z I suppose we disagree with what the word “launch” means then.

Chalk it up to semantics. Yeah, it hasn’t launched yet. I hope it’s good, though, because so far, my experience with E2EE video conferencing apps is not good. BraveTalk is promising, but it’s too buggy. I’ve scheduled multiple important meetings with it, and it was a total failure. I felt embarrassed. I hope Proton Meet is free for one on one and small group conferencing. They should also find a way to make it work so that only one party needs to have a Proton account. It makes it easier to persuade people to use it for both personal and business use. I also don’t want to have to expose any of my Proton addresses to use it. --- ## Post 15 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T16:09:56Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > They should also find a way to make it work so that only one party needs to have a Proton account this is the case.

I’ll report back should I see it be blocked on my end given the country in which I am right now (without a VPN that is, since Signal already is). --- ## Post 18 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T17:32:39Z After some investigation it looks like Proton did not build Proton Meet from the ground up. It is using [LiveKit Meet | Conference app build with LiveKit open source](https://meet.livekit.io/?tab=demo) and in fact the WebRTC runs over LiveKit’s Cloud right now. It uses MLS encryption, when assuming that being implemented correctly that seems all fine, just though it was interesting to share. --- ## Post 19 by @jonah — 2025-09-03T18:37:53Z Somebody at Proton’s caught the AI bug. --- ## Post 20 by @rmd — 2025-09-03T18:40:18Z That LiveKit is so futuristic, all about AI: “Build apps that can see, hear, and speak” LiveKit started in 2021 as “platform for real-time communication” only > **[LiveKit - Open source infrastructure for real time audio and video.](https://web.archive.org/web/20210801005355/https://livekit.io/)** > > LiveKit is an open source project that provides scalable, multi-user conferencing over WebRTC.

I hope video quality is retained like how Google Meets or Microsoft Teams. > [@rmd](#): > > That LiveKit is so futuristic, all about AI: “Build apps that can see, hear, and speak” Imagine if Proton vibecoded their LiveKit implementation :laughing: But yeah…I don’t want to discredit it completely. Maybe it’s all just marketing mumbo-jumbo. --- ## Post 22 by @anon61753997 — 2025-09-03T18:43:55Z I notice that Privacy Guides doesn’t cover video conferencing apps, properly because there’s no good option. I hope that Proton Meet proves its competency. --- ## Post 23 by @PurpleDime — 2025-09-03T18:44:59Z > [@KevPham](#): > > So similar to Apple’s “implementation” of cross-platform facetimes but by browser? I hope video quality is retained like how Google Meets or Microsoft Teams. I didn’t even know that Apple did, but that is how Brave Talk works. The only difference is that Brave Talk is not E2EE yet, and it’s very buggy, so this gives Proton an opportunity to take the lead in the video conferencing privacy market. --- ## Post 24 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T18:47:50Z > [@KevPham](#): > > I hope video quality is retained like how Google Meets or Microsoft Teams. From my few tests quality was good so far. --- ## Post 25 by @KevPham — 2025-09-03T18:49:09Z Fascinating enough but yes, Apple users can share a Facetime link. The video call quality is horrendous though (most likely to shame the recipient into switching over to an Apple device) > [@PurpleDime](#): > > Proton an opportunity to take the lead in the video conferencing privacy market. Perhaps. I do think there is room for a browser-based solution for enterprise, nonprofit, and even personal purposes. Signal, while cross-platform, does not always have the best video quality and faces the issue of the network effect. --- ## Post 26 by @PurpleDime — 2025-09-03T18:55:48Z > [@KevPham](#): > > Perhaps. I do think there is room for a browser-based solution for enterprise, nonprofit, and even personal purposes. Yes. Mozilla should throw their hat in the ring too. --- ## Post 27 by @wwayers — 2025-09-03T19:11:25Z Thanks for sharing screenshots. I was going to share some myself and will here as well but I was happy to read your post and be able to play with it myself because you posted here and I missed the update about this early access. Haha! ![IMG_4214](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/2X/e/e8fcfabef8ea2de8aae811e2bbe230ecae43cc6c.jpeg) ![IMG_4215](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/2X/4/4083cc170094c072db13ea68fdf9383ea0a6f7f5.jpeg) --- ## Post 28 by @investigatorcloset — 2025-09-03T20:23:36Z Seems like a cool new product, not something I will personally use too much. They still have a lot of work to do on there existing portfolio. Agreed with Jonah’s comment that somebody there has obviously board the AI hype train. --- ## Post 29 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T20:30:58Z I mean.. has to be the leadership + majority of the board right? Just hope they approach it all in a more deliberate and intentional manner than willy nilly do things. --- ## Post 30 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T20:34:47Z See, I wasn’t far off thinking they didn’t fork an existing tool. --- ## Post 31 by @Encounter5729 — 2025-09-03T20:48:15Z With some inspecting of the web page, I saw that they also are planning Proton Sheets. --- ## Post 32 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-03T21:34:13Z Yep the sub domain is configured. --- ## Post 33 by @anon39279085 — 2025-09-03T21:38:39Z ok now that makes it better, I’ve been complaining about how we didnt have sheets for a year, if proton was going to release Proton Meet soon, it’s about time they did sheets. This is becoming a reality it seems. --- ## Post 34 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-03T21:41:04Z They confirmed it with a comment on this forum on the big Lumo thread when I complained. So it is indeed coming this year. --- ## Post 35 by @rmd — 2025-09-03T22:02:51Z > [@rmd](#): > > That LiveKit is so futuristic, all about AI: “Build apps that can see, hear, and speak” LiveKit is quite powerful future proof platform that it is used by OpenAI itself. So I think Proton is also thinking to integrate this real-time AI voice conversation features (of this platform) for Lumo. Like in this video where famous cyber security expert talks he loose privacy while using OpenAI’s voice assistant, but he likes it so much he still use it: [https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=DylXM7DPFRs&t=1255](https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=DylXM7DPFRs&t=1255) (I set time 20:55). And I see people around me use it all the time as well. I guess he would be super happy with new Proton Lumo Voice assistant instead. Maybe its bad that people are getting addicted? to it, but Proton would be (at least ‘confidential’) alternative of this with LiveKit. This all 22 minute interview is very good, about important things, like anti-drone work he is doing. --- ## Post 36 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-04T13:06:51Z Proton has put up more info: [Proton Meet: Secure, end-to-end encrypted video conferencing | Proton](https://proton.me/meet) Mainly: > Proton Meet is available exclusively to Proton community members with Lifetime, Visionary and Enterprise plans during early access. If you are a large organization and would like to get early access to Meet, you can contact our sales team or your account manager. --- ## Post 37 by @PurpleDime — 2025-09-04T13:49:13Z > [@investigatorcloset](#): > > Seems like a cool new product, not something I will personally use too much.

What are you hoping for from Proton? > [@jonah](#): > > Somebody at Proton’s caught the AI bug. > [@investigatorcloset](#): > > Agreed with Jonah’s comment that somebody there has obviously board the AI hype train. I’m confused. What does Proton Meet have to do with AI? They’re not training the system with our data like Zoom does. If they are using AI, I’m gonna have to agree with @jonah too. If Proton’s only concern with AI is privacy, I see that as a problem. > [@anon39279085](#): > > if proton was going to release Proton Meet soon, it’s about time they did sheets. It’s about time they intergrate Standard Notes too. --- ## Post 38 by @rmd — 2025-09-04T14:27:35Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > I’m confused. What does Proton Meet have to do with AI? It has nothing to do with AI, and they are not using AI. Proton Meet is just built on top of futuristic platform which advertise AI as their core feature at the moment ([https://livekit.io/](https://livekit.io/)), but Proton don’t use that part and unlikely to use it for Proton Meet specifically in the near future. --- ## Post 39 by @PurpleDime — 2025-09-04T14:42:26Z I see. Thanks for explaining. --- ## Post 40 by @rmd — 2025-09-04T15:33:41Z This LiveKit possibilities resemble movie “Afraid (2024)”, where deepfake AI specifically video calls people acting as real people distorting reality (also hacks systems in the background, and mostly hacks human psychology) and spoiler: take over the world this way [Afraid (2024) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24577462) (movie has not great ratings, but I read the reviews and reviewers complain they expected a horror movie from the title and trailer, but got a movie which is too realistic instead). Movie has some scenes promoting privacy like saying “If you’re wondering why a product is free… you’re the product” and similar. Source code and builds of Proton Meet will need to be specifically thoroughly examined to make sure nothing nefarious is going on :grinning_face: Kind of a positive - extra vigilant to make sure deep fake video calls like in the movie would not happen :slightly_smiling_face: in real life. Extra reason to strengthen cyber security. --- ## Post 43 by @sgp — 2025-09-04T22:07:40Z Personally, I like this. Obviously this is aimed at businesses not individuals. Having support for a reliable videoconferencing software is effectively required for businesses, so this could help lower the cost for a business on Proton versus maintaining separate Proton + Zoom subscriptions. It brings Proton plans closer to parity to Google/Microsoft. --- ## Post 50 by @KaylaR84 — 2025-09-06T00:36:37Z I’ve been considering getting MySudo or some other sort of extra phone number, but at the pace Proton seems to be expanding their product line, I’m tempted to just hold off a couple months and see if those don’t release Proton Voice or something like that. --- ## Post 51 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-06T06:35:33Z It’s not out of the realm of possibilities. Proton has always considered itself the private and secure version of the core Google suite. So, this I’m willing to bet is indeed on its way but not anytime soon. In the next 2 years is my bet at the earliest but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong. --- ## Post 52 by @TinFoilHat — 2025-09-06T08:10:44Z I dont think they would launch MvNO / VOIP service anytime soon as it is technically very difficult, if possible at all, to run a privacy friendly MVNO / VOIP service. They will need to have access to cell network infrastructure to reduce the level of logging, and I dont think they would want to run servife based on Chinese infra, that means they might require the operaters not to use ZTE / Huawei equipment. Yet they will be required to retain / log plenty of information as required by many different countries for LE purposes. --- ## Post 53 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-09-06T09:27:49Z I had more searching on this LIveKit. Seems also the French government uses this for their video calling solution. [https://visio.numerique.gouv.fr/](https://visio.numerique.gouv.fr/) > **[GitHub - suitenumerique/meet: Open source HD video calls, screen sharing, and...](https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet)** > > Open source HD video calls, screen sharing, and chat features powered by LiveKit. Built with Django and React. --- ## Post 54 by @KaylaR84 — 2025-09-06T12:44:49Z That’s interesting. I’m fairly new to this space so I didn’t consider that. It just feels like every month there’s a new Proton Something, and I figured it would jut be a matter of time! --- ## Post 55 by @wwayers — 2025-09-06T20:17:16Z A few practical things popped up during testing on macOS Sequoia, Linux Mint 22, and Windows 11 Enterprise: - Screen sharing: no system audio option — kills demos and video walkthroughs. - Meeting links: a single-digit typo drops you to the splash page; if you’re logged into Proton it can sometimes spawn a new meeting. Confusing and a privacy/UX edge case. - Access controls: no meeting lock / waiting room / or password option — anyone with the link can join. - Host identity (clarified): if you are not signed in, Proton assigns an anonymous identifier which shows in the meeting. If you are signed in, you can set your display name in-meeting — but Proton also shows the Proton account username and the associated email in the top-right while hosting. That email being visible is odd — showing the account name is fine, but the email shouldn’t be displayed prominently. Anybody else see these issues or know whether a feature roadmap is coming? Since Meet is built on LiveKit, do these gaps look like LiveKit limits (esp. screen-audio) or product choices by Proton? It seems to me like everything but the audio issue can be fixed as part of LiveKit’s SDK. --- ## Post 57 by @wwayers — 2025-09-15T16:10:23Z FYI all, Proton Meet got back to me about the bug reports and suggestions and so I figured I would share here as well: > [@wwayers](#): > > - Meeting links: a single-digit typo drops you to the splash page; if you’re logged into Proton it can sometimes spawn a new meeting. Confusing and a privacy/UX edge case. > - Access controls: no meeting lock / waiting room / or password option — anyone with the link can join. Hello, Thank you for contacting us and for the feedback provided, I have shared your feedback with our dedicated team. Our team is still working on improving the Proton Meet service since it is in the early release, and if you are able to, please test out Screen sharing with another browser/incognito mode to see if that will help. When it comes to the links, invite links have an expiration time. Typically, within 30 days for scheduled meetings and much quicker for instant meetings. The personal meeting link is the only one that does not expire, and for the password, a password is automatically generated for your meetings, which is visible in the invite link. For scheduled meetings, you also have an option to make the meetings even more secure by setting a passphrase. Also, the features you requested might be implemented sometime in the future, thank you also for taking the time to request them. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards, Jakjim Customer Support Proton VPN --- ## Post 58 by @iluvprivacy — 2025-09-16T01:56:39Z Any information on what is the highest resolution it’ll support? I know 4K may be overkill, but I live in a city where broadband is relatively cheap and I have no data cap. So in this context, I want the highest quality possible and I’m not worried about data usage or even latency as I’m using gigabit fiber. --- ## Post 59 by @wwayers — 2025-09-16T23:58:53Z I ran a quick browser check and Proton Meet is publishing simulcast layers (180p / 360p / 720p). My browser decoded the stream at 1280×720 (readyState 4). Network stats show 0 packet loss, very low jitter, and ~30 ms RTT — so on my 8 Gbps XGS-PON dual-WAN setup the video and screen-shares are crystal clear at 720p. Keep in mind Proton Meet uses adaptive simulcast, so viewers with weaker upstream/CPU will receive a lower layer. Hope that addresses your question. :slight_smile: --- ## Post 60 by @dairymilkbatman — 2025-09-18T04:52:09Z Any one else suspicious on how Proton is able to do so much in so little time? It starts me thinking about their funding sources, and that makes me distrustful; assuming I can be somewhat paranoid, like we are on here :stuck_out_tongue: --- ## Post 61 by @jonah — 2025-09-18T05:02:28Z Some might argue they are not doing _enough_ when it comes to their existing products lol --- ## Post 62 by @wwayers — 2025-09-18T09:07:10Z > [@dairymilkbatman](#): > > Any one else suspicious on how Proton is able to do so much in so little time? It starts me thinking about their funding sources, and that makes me distrustful; assuming I can be somewhat paranoid, like we are on here :stuck_out_tongue: Suspicion’s healthy in the privacy space, but “they move too fast” isn’t much of a smoking gun. I actually sat through Proton VPN’s Linux app rewrite — that dragged on for a year and a half. Proton absolutely has its slow days. What has changed is Proton itself: they’re not just a scrappy email startup anymore. Enterprise contracts, corporate adoption, and a steady influx of paying users have let them hire aggressively and expand teams across products. That’s what makes the rollout cadence look quicker. --- ## Post 63 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-18T09:13:31Z > [@wwayers](#): > > Proton absolutely has its slow days. Proton is slow only for Linux from what I can tell. Linux is not as prioritized but still put in the quality effort necessary to make any app on it well so that’s why it takes time. Also, Linux’s fragmented nature doesn’t help so that’s another reason. Slow days yes, but there are legitimate reasons for it. --- ## Post 64 by @wwayers — 2025-09-18T09:26:10Z _cries in macOS tears_ Point is, ifs not just Linux, it’s years and years waiting for feature parity across devices with fragmented experiences on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Still, I love Proton. --- ## Post 65 by @anon57862721 — 2025-09-18T09:29:35Z While I would love to have feature parity, I think the reason it’s difficult is because the OS itself is different. I still feel there’s a reason for it.. but for the most part, for all that ProtonVPN is on all platforms, it works well and I am personally okay with it. --- ## Post 66 by @rmd — 2025-09-18T12:02:32Z > [@dairymilkbatman](#): > > to do so much in so little time? More than a year back Proton CEO said, they do things in phases: - Phase 1. Release new products - Phase 2. Release new features for existing products After many product releases last year, he said they won’t be releasing new products for a bit (and improve existing), and this is what they did for a year: - 2024 spring-summer: they released many products. - 2024 autumn - 2025 spring: they improved existing with feature roadmaps - 2025 summer: they released many products again Because, he said, some people want new products, others want new feature upgrades. I am in the camp, which want new products, because I get a lot more value this way, rather than minor feature improvements :slightly_smiling_face: --- ## Post 67 by @ph00lt0 — 2025-11-15T19:40:49Z Proton Calendar (web) now allows you to schedule a meeting with Proton Meet link. ![1763235550782](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/2X/9/97e68ee43100b0ef7dad7b74e2bfc048b5ac977a.jpeg) ![1763235524362](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/2X/1/11b5340d7a0947a5dd7efb36fda8b7f66d2937ac.jpeg) --- ## Post 68 by @TinFoilHat — 2025-11-15T20:21:06Z Seems not accessible by Proton Family users yet. --- ## Post 80 by @kissu — 2025-11-16T12:56:41Z Would be a nice place for a quick call rather than some self-hosted public instance indeed.

I am using Zoom because I’ve found it to be the only consistently reliable option across many different scenarios, but especially when I have calls with people one the other side of the world. I’ve tried most alternatives at this point and the only one that was close in terms of quality and reliability was Whereby. But they use Amazon so have access to global servers. I hope Proton Meeting will be better, but somehow I doubt it. --- ## Post 84 by @anon57862721 — 2025-12-22T11:37:40Z > [@Peter_Sibelius](#): > > But they use Amazon so have access to global servers. > [@Peter_Sibelius](#): > > I hope Proton Meeting will be better, but somehow I doubt it. Signal messenger uses AWS too. So, what does this have to do with your apprehension about such a service not being good? --- ## Post 85 by @privacyisconsent — 2025-12-22T11:45:06Z I think they meant Whereby was similar in international call quality to Zoom because they used AWS infrastructure (global latency and routing benefits). They doubt Proton Meet will match that reliability/quality because it is rare for a service to do so, not because Proton may or may not use AWS. --- ## Post 87 by @Peter_Sibelius — 2025-12-22T11:56:30Z Yes, thanks, I was trying to say that, without a global network of media servers, it is unlikely that Proton will be able to replace something like Zoom for people who need reliable global video calls.

Dedicated app works better when you’re on the go and want to have voice calls. It’s basically Facetime but more private and secure with a chat feature. People can think of it as Signal too but Signal is IM first. Perhaps Proton Meet can evolve into a far superior Teams app where it’s IM, voice calls, video calls, collaborative file sharing, etc. A lot of people outside of the US use WhatsApp for literally this because not everyone is going to pay for Teams. If Proton plays this well, there is so much more than Meet can do for Proton and could be a more deciding factor in people choosing Proton than anything else. I say this from an international POV. --- ## Post 105 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-31T14:06:31Z Some more info: > **[The Proton Meet Security Model | Proton](https://proton.me/blog/meet-security-model)** > > Learn how Proton Meet delivers an enterprise-grade secure video conferencing experience while ensuring no one, not even Proton, can eavesdrop on your calls. --- ## Post 106 by @PurpleDime — 2026-03-31T15:12:36Z I am so glad Proton Meet is finally available for everyone, as I desperately need it right now with Brave Talk being so buggy. That being said, it looks like Proton Meet is primarily aimed at businesses, which makes sense, but what about regular folks? I also wish Proton had followed BraveTalk’s model. Limiting free meetings to 60 minutes is very limited. Why not make it unlimited and reduce the number of people who can be in a meeting? A lot more questions remain. **Can someone who uses Proton Pass Plus subscribe to Proton Meet Professional?** It would seem so. Since Proton Meet is not part of Proton Unlimited, it is only available as an add-on. This proves that Proton always had the ability to allow users to subscribe to multiple services without having to create a second account ([hello enshittification!](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/i-ditched-gmail-for-proton-mail-hoping-for-privacy-but-the-grass-wasnt-greener/27696/27)). What is unclear is if Proton Meet Professional is the same price for all paying Proton subscribers (Proton Mail Plus vs. Proton Unlimited). Either way, it’s too expensive for me. Meetings should not be limited in time in the free tier. --- ## Post 107 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-31T15:19:08Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > but what about regular folks? They can use it too.

Different subscription strategy I mean. It is clearly primarily aimed at businesses, and my guess is if the free tier for regular folk is “too generous”, it makes it too easy for businesses to just use it instead. Still, that doesn’t make sense to me, because I would argue that most video conferencing apps, including Brave Talk, are primarily aimed at businesses. That’s where these companies will make most of their money. And if Brave Talk can make their free tier unlimited in time, so can Proton. Most regular users will not host meetings with 50 people or even 10. But businesses will. If Proton gave unlimited time in their free tier, but limited it to 5 people, that would still compel business to upgrade. Especially if you put features like recording in the paid tier. I am disappointed in Proton’s model. Be that as it may, since you don’t need an account to launch a meeting, you could theoretically, launch a new meeting every time you run out of time. Even so, I think it’s disappointing. > [@anon25722375](#): > > Not quite. Proton Meet is free. Proton Meet Plus (if that’s what it’s called, not sure yet) with additional eatures and functionality is paid. The cheapest paid tier is called Meet Professional. > [@anon25722375](#): > > Guess that’s how they’ve chosen to go about it. Obviously all plans and feature/functionality availability will be set such that it encourages paid add on. IMO, it’s lame. It’s also lame that the timer starts the second the host creates the meeting, even though they are the only person in it. Meetings require preparation. One of the companies I used to work for regularly hosted business meetings with clients and partners abroad that I needed to be a part of. They required that certain employees show up 30 min in advance to make sure all the technical stuff was working. That’s before the meeting has begun. I have also personally hosted one on one business meeting on Brave Talk, and not only did I need to create the meeting link 30 minutes before it actually started, but it’s very common for people to be a few minutes late. Hence, why the time limitations are lame. With Proton, once you create the link, the meeting has started. > [@anon25722375](#): > > What is not clear is that how one can anonymously add on Proton Meet to Proton Unlimited?

I would totally use Proton Meet to chit-chat. Many of my friends and family refuse to use Signal. Having the ability to just send them a link to join a meeting would make a positive difference because it requires less than signing up for something. I have friends and family worldwide, and if Proton Meet is technically reliable, this would be a good way to talk to them. I also think Proton Meet has a great opportunity to invite attract newcomers to Proton services like Proton Mail and Proton Pass. However, IMO, that is only possible if the free tier is generous. I really think time should be unlimited. --- ## Post 117 by @crossroads — 2026-03-31T17:46:39Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > I also wish Proton had followed BraveTalk’s model.

This is just stupid to have so basic program outside Unlimited. I kind of understand that awful AI Lumo to be different but Meet is just like every other app and should be definately available to Unlimited users. I just got 2- year Unlimited sub and I feel kind of cheated because now they add more apps outside the Unlimited and try to get more money.

Though Webex has much more features. And OpenTalk is almost useless **Are these services E2EE?** I was comparing to BraveTalk because it’s E2EE. I want Proton Meet to be as popular as Skype. Skype was widely used by regular folk, but also businesses. But like many legacy companies, they failed to use their incredible lead to prevent Zoom from taking over business meetings. You could argue that MS Teams is that competitor, but MS Teams is exclusively for businesses. In my opinion Proton Meet should be more. Skype’s free tier was extremely generous. They had no limitation in time, and the number of people you could have in a chat was large. And this was before they were purchased by MS. In addition, Skype had very attractive paying features for regular folk like me. Mainly, they allowed you to make calls to landlines and cellphones for cheap. I miss having this feature, as there are currently not comparing services that offers that. IMHO, Proton will fail to become popular with regular people if they don’t make time unlimited in their free tier. A regular person will never have 50 people in a meeting. Not even a small business owner. Hence, that is not a selling point for a regular person like me. --- ## Post 120 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-31T18:18:04Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > ainly, they allowed you to make calls to landlines and cellphones for cheap.

See, many of your comments like this while detailed always in my view fail to account for why it is so. If you did, you’d easily realize a clear and obvious reason for it. The business model is different. Your comments while true also are not news because you’re only stating what’s been true and not adding any new info to the discourse of the topic. Skype was generous because the business model was different. I’m guessing you know how? You are the product if its free. Proton is different. Obviously they are going to make their plans such that if you use it semi regularly, buying it would make more sense. And it should. Proton is also generous with other things. Free VPN for the quality, free basic but E2EE email, some cloud storage even if only limited but still should be more than enough to store your important documents, free basic docs and sheets. Even if you’re a college student, you can get by with all the free versions of Proton products even with Meet. I’m seeing their free plans as MacBook Neo. It’s fantastic for all your basic everyday needs. But if you’re relying or going to be relying on something for more, it would only make sense to upgrade. What’s wrong with that? I’m saying all this because I am well aware of your views against Proton in several ways. In my view those are all personal. Not objective. I also say this because your comments while not incorrect, also sound like complaints. Being constructively critical is one thing but there’s nothing wrong in the way Proton is going about their business. It’s literally one of the best ways they can do it, considering big tech alternatives and their egregiously manipulative and unethical tactics (at the scale at which they do it at too). --- ## Post 121 by @PurpleDime — 2026-03-31T18:37:35Z > [@anon25722375](#): > > Even if you’re a college student, you can get by with all the free versions of Proton products even with Meet. Definitely not all. I speak from experience. Everything I said about Proton Meet is my opinion. It’s just an opinion and I stand by it. I don’t see myself paying for Proton Meet anytime soon. I can’t see myself using their free version either because most of my scheduled conversations with friends, family, or work over Skype and Signal, tend to last over an hour. I think Proton Meet is likely to be very popular with business, but not with regular folk. IMO, if they are not careful, Proton is going to become like Apple by making privacy a luxury that most can’t afford. --- ## Post 122 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-31T18:45:03Z > [@PurpleDime](#): > > I speak from experience.

But alright.. depends on many factors there but still, should work for most. > [@PurpleDime](#): > > IMO, if they are not careful, Proton is going to become like Apple by making privacy a luxury that most can’t afford. And in my opinion, if one is using all that Proton offers for their personal lives with other people, the subscription is well worth the price even when compared to “free” big tech alternatives. Of course, Proton Meet has long ways to go before it becomes a proper Teams replacement but they are on the right track if they keep improving the feature set. Proton doesn’t have a chat app. It would only make sense to integrate it into Meet more fully where it literally works like Teams. Chat and Calls are both primary reasons to use the app. Right now, only audio & video calling appears to be the primary reason (as that’s what they are going for). --- ## Post 123 by @dada_goose — 2026-03-31T18:46:07Z Pleased to have this new option available. I don’t begrudge them making business decisions around the free/paid options, however I do tend to agree with the comment above suggesting a better way may have been to limit the number of people, rather than time. A 4-6 person limit without a time constraint would force most businesses into the paid tier while leaving a super useful piece of software for everyone else. --- ## Post 124 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-31T18:49:28Z I think the reason they have done it is because more time would be a burden on their resources that may not be justified at the cost of $0.

Like I said, they won’t make a chat app like Google Chat (albeit would be cool if they did) but they have to evolve Meet into more than what it is. I’m hoping they make it such that one to one or group chats are possible without really joining a meeting (which has time limits even on paid versions).

We all know none of us will reach the 50-person limit. > [@morjom](#): > > Interesting post that I came across, some vital information regarding Proton Meet I feel. Yup. Saw this earlier.

We finished the meet after an hour and a half when it was still going. We had people on from 2000km away for the person that asked about geographic dispersion. The only issue we had was the audio got a bit glitchy fairly frequently, enough to prompt us all to stop video which fixed it. Don’t know if it was a random network problem of some sort or Proton’s fault but I won’t be finding out because the host is going back to Zoom this week unfortunately. She says she messaged Proton about it and they weren’t helpful. --- ## Post 138 by @anon92947183 — 2026-04-26T14:43:52Z > [@anon25722375](#): > > Proton is also generous with other things.
