If you love group calls on Signal, but don’t want to create a group chat for every combination of your friends or colleagues, you’re in luck. Today we’re launching call links: Share a link with anyone on Signal and in just a tap or click they can join the call. No group chat required.

        Hard pass. I don’t want anything where the technology is not controlled from my hub or someone I trust.

        Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol’ webrtc and browser tech.

          how is joining an already setup meeting room with a guest account the same as this? you can’t use those things without someone that already has an account inviting you. and wtf does “browser tech” mean.

            True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

            But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

            “Browser tech”? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn’t set up for that kind of thing. It’s just designed and extended from a different use case.

    If they could let you create real polls to vote, it would be nice too.

    Right now I think you can only react with a thumb up or a thub down.
