Whereby Erfahrungen

a great application with good features but it has some drawbacks.

Kommentare: Whereby made it easy for us to organize meetings quickly and has all the basic features that video conferencing software needs.

Vorteile:

Whereby allows you to stay connected and productive while on the go. You can use it as a webcam or microphone, allowing you to make video calls on all your favorite platforms without having to worry about compatibility issues.One of the main benefits of using Whereby is that it's free. Because it's a cloud-based application, there are no costly upgrades or monthly fees to use it. The app is also available across all devices, which means you can get to your information from any device that has an Internet connection.

Nachteile:

The free version is limited in features and not suited for larger meetings.

An easy to use video conferencing solution with good quality

Kommentare: Whereby is a quick and easy meeting tool working seemlessly, stable and looking very nice. It also offers a lot of useful features.

Vorteile:

What I like about Whereby is, that it is very easy to use and contains a lot of useful features. The interfaces looks very good and users usually get how it works while using it for the first time. The video quality as well as audio is very good. I would even say it's the best quality from the video conferencing solutions I've used so far. The meeting page is very customizable with colors and background images. It also features useful features like breakout-rooms, noise reduction, integration of several collaboration tools, screen sharing and a very nice chat function. The prizing is, starting at $6,99, very cheap. As well nice is, that the meeting url always stays the same. And nobody needs to install any software for using it. It just works in the browser.

Nachteile:

Whereby could use a little makeover in case of the android app. It hasn't been updated for quite a while. It's basically a full screen browser. It would be nice, if that could be solved. Helpful would be also, if there could be shown more than just 12 people on camera.

A basic platform to do online meetings

Kommentare: it was a good platform to make calls, but i don't see value in paying for the same service that other platforms offer

Vorteile:

What I liked most about the platform was being able to have my own room for calls and customize the URL, so I could always use the same one.

Nachteile:

when they started charging to keep using the most basic features

WHEREBY Review

Kommentare: It can be used by those whom have minimal computing knowledge and exposure especially clients or business partners above a certain age whom are not very comfortable with the technology. Therefore it is very much time saving for both ends.

Vorteile:

This is a useful service. It's simple to use, it's quick, and it uses very little of the machine's and connection's resources. I've used it with connections as slow as 1Mbps and I was still able to share screen and video , although not the best of quality, but it works. It's a great place to hold meetings.

Nachteile:

The video and audio quality could use some improvement; they're not the best, and they can be slow, dragging, and crashing.

A reliable and easy-to-use solution to host video calls

Kommentare: Whereby has been a solid solution to easily organize and host consulting calls and "virtual coffees". Its ease of use, and the fact that can be used both on computer, as well as on tablet and smartphone, make it a no-brainer and a tool that should be in every digital business owner's toolkit.

Vorteile:

I had been using a wide variety of video conferencing tools before I started using Whereby and the things I found have made a difference are: — the array of features: you can create customized and branded "virtual rooms" where to host calls, you can have one-on-one and group calls and you can do so both through the web-based version and the smartphone version of Whereby — ease of use for both the conference call host and participants: it's incredibly easy to organize your first video conferencing call and have people join it, especially because there's no download nor installation required for them to use the web version of Whereby — web and apps: some video conferencing tools are available only through their web version, while Whereby lets you have calls with your computer, as well as with your smartphone or tablet through the mobile device app

Nachteile:

The one thing I don't think is ideal about Whereby is the fact that Call Recording is an add-on feature. I wouldn't have an issue with it being an add-on feature available for the Whereby Pro Plan. However, even if one purchases the Pro Plan, he/she needs to purchase Call Recording as a separate add-on (which cannot be bought as a standalone feature). So you'd end up paying for two separate things: for the Pro Plan and for the Call Recording feature.

Easy to use, permanent links, customize your rooms and stability. But not worth the money for us.

Vorteile:

It's extremely easy to use. Links are permanent and you can have your online room with a fixed link with your own password, background, time tracker.... and good integrations with other apps such as Miro or Google Drive.

Nachteile:

The value-for-money decreasead when they reduced the options while keeping the pricing. No it's no longer useful for us, too expensive for what they offer.

The best in

Kommentare: BEFORE:
"Hey, what's your account?" "I don't find you" "Witch one of these 3 old Skype accounts is the new one?"
*THREE HOURS LATER*
"Hey, here we are" NOW:
"Click on this link" "Hey nice, it took like 3 seconds and I'm not frustrated"

Vorteile:

YOUR INTERLOCUTORS DON'T NEED AN ACCOUNT. Or software. Or your nickname. You simply have to send them a short link like appear.in/**yourname** and that's it.

Nachteile:

None. It's a super simple and easy to use solution. Maybe, the fact that not everyone is using it, so sometimes you're forced in use other bad conference solutions.

An option not very well known but to keep in mind for the future

Kommentare: It is an essential application, which is strange that it is not more well known

Vorteile:

It is very easy to use and has all the necessary options to have a good experience. Even in its free version, it offers the possibility of having a personal room with its own URL. it is very stable in the connection. Its configuration is simple, it allows screen sharing and it has a good image quality.

Nachteile:

In general, it offers everything you need, but the free option does not allow you to record the session.

Great Alternative Video Conferencing App

Kommentare: My experience with whereby has been good to date

Vorteile:

The seamless no download and no sign-in (unless you are hosting) features are one of my favorites form the Whereby App

Nachteile:

Integration with outlook or google calendar would be great add-on at the moment ones rehires to hop on difference interfaces/software tools to get this done

A Powerful Web Conferencing Solution - Whereby

Vorteile:

A great tool for web conferencing and I like the amazing screen sharing capabilities.

Nachteile:

Never had problems with Whereby. It is smooth.

I recently started using Whereby and I couldn't be happier

Kommentare: Overall, I highly recommend Whereby for anyone in need of a reliable and easy-to-use online meeting platform. It has quickly become my go-to choice for virtual meetings and I have no doubt it will be a valuable tool for your business as well.

Vorteile:

I recently started using Whereby for my online meetings and I couldn't be happier with the service. The interface is user-friendly and the video and audio quality are top-notch. I also appreciate the ability to easily schedule and customize meetings, as well as the ability to share my screen with participants.One of the standout features of Whereby is the ability to use custom meeting links. This has made it easy for me to have recurring meetings with clients and colleagues, as we don't have to keep sending out new invitations or remembering a unique meeting ID.

Nachteile:

One potential con of Whereby is the price. While the service does offer a free plan with basic features, the more advanced options and larger meeting sizes do come with a higher price tag. This may not be feasible for every business or individual looking for an online meeting solution.However, it's important to keep in mind that you get what you pay for and Whereby does offer a lot of valuable features and reliable performance. If you need a robust online meeting platform and are willing to invest in a higher-priced option, Whereby may be worth considering. It's always a good idea to carefully evaluate your budget and needs before making a decision.

A safe and secure Video connecting platform

Kommentare: I prefer using this app as this is free to use and also it has pro version, In a free version the features are very good. Host has very good control on room . I would suggest anyone to use this app as these app has very less cons. and user friendly.

Vorteile:

I regularly use whereby free version , it is completely free to use for life time and the best features I love in this software are 1. Private chat, Screen-sharing option 2. Switching camera (front and rare) 3. Mute option for host 4. Room control is way better than many other platforms 5. Phone friendly 6. Group breakout and also room lock option.

Nachteile:

I always find a difficulty while I switch camera from front to rare and vice versa. Also video quality could be better as I faced issues like video buffer many times.

Good service, fair price

Vorteile:

I liked the way Whereby test new features allowing all users to test.

Nachteile:

Cut the conference once the time is over.

Decent quality

Kommentare: I really like appear.in. I use it every day for work and can have up to 12 users at a time on it. Sometimes it can go down for no known reason and it takes a while to come back up, but that doesn't happen very often . Overall it's a great product!

Vorteile:

EASE OF USE ACCESSIBILITY CAPACITY Screen record Share screens

Nachteile:

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT DEPENDABLE quality of video

Video meetings have never been easier

Kommentare: Very happy with Appear and will continue to use it in my businesses and personal life.

Vorteile:

Appear is extremely easy to use, and 99% of the time it just works without a hitch.

Nachteile:

The new pricing plans are a bit of a downgrade from what we were previously experiencing as pro users, but it's still tremendous value.

Great tool for distributed work

Kommentare: We use it every day for daily meetings - a distributed team - and frequent room meetings on demand.

Vorteile:

Very easy to use, and with some options when bandwidth is not good (suppress camera, Pro rooms)

Nachteile:

Lack of a Windows app as an optional feature

It's my go-to tool for calling

Kommentare: We have a lot of meetings during the day because our team is distributed. Appear help us managing those meetings with no effort!

Vorteile:

It's super simple! You share a link and that's it. No downloads no gimmicks no account, it's just what I need in the very moment I want it. I love it.

Nachteile:

Sometimes it glitches on Firefox but, aside from that, I believe it's close to perfection.

amazing tool

Kommentare: I am a Psychologist and Career Consultant. I work with individual sessions, attending people across the country and this makes my life better because when I depended exclusively on Skype I was having trouble providing smooth call with no sound and internet problems, sometimes we used to lost productivity due to performance connection problems.

Vorteile:

The things I like most are: appear is hands-on, simply and online. Doesn't need login or download to new participants. I work remotely and its really make difference on my productivity.

Nachteile:

The only thing I don't like is the fact I can not integrate with Calendly .

The tool for making videocalls easy

Kommentare: Appear.in is great for remote teams is kind of a virtual lobby for everyone.

Vorteile:

The biggest pro of appear.in for me is the ability to set a URL, that makes soo easy to join calls and reduces the hassle of sending complex links like the ones used in google meet. We use it in our workplace as a lobby, since we are remote and its great people jump in and out with out even thinking about it.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the software fails, and can't join the calls, it's not often but definitely something to consider. Also the capability to block users should be available, sometime you don't want to have anyone join the conversation.

excellent web app meeting

Vorteile:

Simple to use, good quality, everyone can reach you in your room without installing anything.

Nachteile:

It would be great if there was also live subtitles feature.

Great for customer interviews and support

Kommentare: As part of my job I often get on a call with customers to learn more about their usage of our application. Whereby (previous appear.in) is a great and simple way to quickly and in a no-hazzle way interact with the customer. It allows both them and me to share our screen, which is a great way to 'see what they see'.

Vorteile:

Quick and in no-hazzle set up, easy to share link with whoever and quickly get a screen share/cam session running. Most often runs smoothly. Doesn't require any plug-in or installs, simply runs through browser.

Nachteile:

Having a free tier that allows up to 4 users in a unique url session, it's hard to complain about anything in this tool. It has lots of competition, and internal company conversations is typically achieved by zoom or slack in our company. But for getting on a call / screen share with a customer, whereby is a preferred solution for us.

Great Meeting Software

Kommentare: We utilize this software for remote working employees and it has made a huge difference in the ability to save travel time to the office.

Vorteile:

No downloads and works first try in your browser. We use it internally on a daily basis. We also have special rooms that we use for customer meetings.

Nachteile:

There is no option to pay for call in support. Internally we don't require this, but some customers don't have computers with microphones that work etc., and it would be useful for them to be able to login to the meeting to see our screens but call in for voice.

I thought it was better than it was

Kommentare: It has to be worked on. The idea is nice and neat, but the competition is far better. Start by organizing the screens on the panel, cut off the mic automatically if the participant go silent etc.

Vorteile:

I liked the simplicity. Reminded me of the initial versions of Skype.

Nachteile:

When I subscribed, to be able to bring more people into the room, it was messy, there was no way I could organize the screens like I do when I'm using Zoom or Skype. Suddenly, my webcam wasn't visible for the participants. I admit that there was a lot of emails exchanged to try and solve the problem, but it was never solved. By that stage I had paid over 70 pounds for the subscription, and decided to cancel something I could never use. No money back was offered.

It's Goof for Browser Based Online Meetings

Kommentare: It's very easy-to-use and practical to use with our team members but we had some issues making online meetings with other people.

Vorteile:

It's browser-based online meeting software and you don't need to download and install any software into your computer.

Nachteile:

You need to install a browser extension to use it and not many people have it added to their browsers.

Great for videoconferences and daily use

Kommentare: Great alternative to Skype and the like as it's faster to enter in a custom room and begin talking with quality video.

Vorteile:

appear.in (now Whereby) has always been my go to site for quick video conferences. When I showed my supervisor how easy it is to create a room and begin talking with quality video, he got totally surprised. Also it allows for screen sharing and room customisation (link, background, everything). Custom rooms can even be restricted.

Nachteile:

Too bad they've limited the Free plan so much, and changed the way some sites like Focusmate use it. Apart from that, I don't have much else to say, as it works like a charm.
