As a long time (paid) user of whereby (aka appear.in) I've been pretty disappointed by recent changes. You used to be able to visit appear.in/anything and get a room. Now there is an explicit and annoying "create a room" step. It's still much simpler than Zoom, which is why I still pay for it, but if someone created a service with "the old appear.in experience" I'd switch a heartbeat.
- sokoloff 7y agoWhat’s complex about Zoom? My experience matches the article, which is “it’s easy and seems to work for everyone”. The app UI can be confusing for advanced features (annotations and the like and people sometimes have a hard time groking single window sharing [or remembering that’s what they did]), but basic video and full screen sharing “just works” IME.
- stickfigure 7y agoYou need to install an app. That's a massive hurdle compared to "visit this link", especially when interacting with customers.
