I know for sure that I’m looking for libre video chat software that has these features for the other person, not necessarily for me:

  • no need to create an account
  • mobile-friendly web app

I’m still deciding whether to do video chats on:

  • iPhone
  • Fedora GNU + Linux (GNOME)

Use case: I’m considering switching from text to video chat as my preferred method for initial conversations with people on dating sites/communities. There’s not always a sacrifice of convenience by avoiding non-libre software for it, because whatever app is already being used typically only integrates messaging, not video chat.

    I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure WebKit for iOS heavily restricts the capabilities of webapps, finding an application that meets any or all of this criteria for iOS users is unlikely in my opinion. I assumed you already considered Jami and Jitsi Meet but maybe you can consider Signal? It’s not as mainstream as WhatsApp but it’s still pretty popular. Depending on where you live and the type of people you’re talking to, I’d say there’s like a 5-20% chance some people you’ll meet already have it.
