Why starting another video conference tool?

During the Corona pandemic 2020-2021, I tried to create a peer-to-peer solution for homeschooling called peer.school. Although the project has been retired for various reasons, I learned so much about WebRTC and video/audio communication, that I did want to reuse this knowledge in this project.

Why is it free and Open Source?

Only a free project does not require the user to create an account and unveil payment information, that could be used to identify that person. This is why the project is free and will remain free, as long as no additional costs like maintaining TURN servers etc. will require some funding. If you want to support me and the project directly you can via Github or via PayPal. If you are interested in sponsoring please, contact me at briefing@holtwick.de.

Which servers are actually involved in a call?

• Briefing website (provides the web app)
• Briefing signaling server (coordinates peers in rooms)
• Briefing STUN/TURN server (helps to traverse fire walls)
