Brave Software introduces Private Video Calling Service for Brave browser

Brave Browser maker, Brave Software has made available a Private and unlimited Video calling service based on Open source Jitsi in Nightly version and it requires Brave browser to work.

Brave Software took Twitter to announce its Video calling service “Brave Together“. Video conferencing apps usage is on the rise due to pandemic, Zoom has been mostly used. Google chipped in late and made their premium video conference application Meet free for everyone and integrated into Gmail.

There is very little information available about Brave Together atm as Brave hasn’t revealed many details. Here is what we know.

You can share your screen (like in Zoom), YouTube video links, browser window, and Brave tab as well, work on the desktop that too in the Brave browser only.

Using the service is pretty straight forward.

1. Visit https://together.brave.com/ in Brave browser

2. Click “Start video call”,

3. Copy and share the link with your friends.

Brave Together Video calling interface allows us to start password-protected meetings, provides speaker notes, keyboard shortcuts, lets you mute all participants in the call. You can set video call quality (defaults to High Definition).

The company claims in the tweet it is available in North America, but we can able to access the service website and initiate a video call from India.

The company claims Brave Together as a trial version in the announcement tweet. It’s unclear, whether the service will be made available for free to everyone eventually, or will it be based on subscription.

Our Nightly version for North America now features Brave Together, our private and unlimited video calling service based on open source @jitsinews. Click on the widget & start connecting with friends/colleagues. Feedback welcome at https://t.co/SWLpcAKZDq for this trial version. pic.twitter.com/UPFE13Z0xB
