In their own words
Proton Meet
Proton Meet provides private video conferencing for teams, friends, and family, with apps for the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It uses Messaging Layer Security to encrypt audio, video, screen shares, and chats end to end. External guests can join through a meeting link without a Proton account. Hosts can blur backgrounds, reduce noise, lock meetings, block new arrivals, mute audio, stop video, and remove attendees. Meet integrates with Proton Calendar for calls and appointment scheduling. Proton says its apps are fully open source for independent auditing and that it does not retain meeting passwords, audio, video, chat messages, or metadata linking participants after a call. The free plan is free, billed $0.00 every month, with meetings up to 60 minutes, 50 participants, and five meeting links per day. Paid pricing starts at $7.99/user/mo (annual). The Professional plan lists meetings up to 24 hours and 100 participants, plus screen sharing, chat, scheduling, and recording. Proton also states that Meet complies with GDPR, HIPAA, CJIS, and PCI.
