All video call software suck in various ways. Corporate IT throttling&filtering and analyzing traffic with a mismash of third party offerings ”to increase security” does not help.

Keet [1] doesn't suck. Fully encrypted, peer to peer. Bandwidth only limited by what the parties to the call have access to. [1] https://keet.io/ https://keet.io/

  > [...] Fully encrypted, peer to peer. [...] The least two features the average user wants. Most users are happy if sound and video work instantly, always. Maybe some marketing department should focus on that? (Don't know keet; yes, encryption is still an important festure).

    Peer to peer makes it as fast as possible because it's not having to pass through a 3rd party's servers (which, for cost reasons, normally limit the bandwidth of the communication channel they are serving). This is just like when you pull down a torrent. You can do it as fast as your bandwidth and the bandwidth of the peers who are seeding it to you allow. Which can be blazingly fast.

      Then market it as "fast". Nobody (except a few zealots) cares about the implementation details.

        I'm not marketing it (I'm a user, not a developer). And I would think that HN is exactly the forum where ppl care about the implementation details.
