Perch is a startup that's mentioned a lot in the comments, and I trialled it and it was pretty nice, but it just shut down last month. Perhaps their "customer stories" or "blog" sections have enough detail about the app's features, or perhaps the Internet Archive has a full copy of their old site:

- carlsverre 10y agoYup! I was looking at those earlier this week. The Skype solution is a good approach, but requires a bit more maintenance to manage accounts and links and so on. Also I love the idea of custom branding, room links, and simple direct p2p.

- carlsverre 10y agoJust looked at perch. I remember seeing it when they showed up on the scene. Too bad they didn't get traction. I think there is an opportuity in this space, but it might just be for an open source entry rather than a startup.
- vitovito 10y agohttps://papercutsoftware.github.io/teleportme/ https://papercutsoftware.github.io/teleportme/ was an open-source-ish solution I came across recently (built on FaceTime), but I haven't tried it. Seems like they're making similar design decisions as you.
