Whereby - Video Meetings

The main problem I encountered is that for some reason when this app is installed, IOS fails to recognise .docx and .xlsx files

Haven’t used this app for a while but found out tonight after weeks of problems viewing docx files that the whereby app was the culprit. As soon as I deleted it I was back in the game. Developers need to look into this with many people having this issue and unable to view important documents.

I downloaded this and can no longer open Word files.

Whereby has been a godsend to me for sharing and is such good quality Thankyou

Whereby is utterly reliable. I have used it every day for 3 years and it has never let me down. I teach an online yoga class every morning of the year and it has been absolutely excellent. I can simply give people the same link every time and they don’t have to download anything just click the link and they are there. So easy to use and cheap. I absolutely thoroughly recommend it. I have managed to resolve any problems I have had but 99.99% of the time Whereby works perfectly. If you do get any teething problems you will find more likely or not it is at your end but do check the audio and video settings in Whereby and on your device.

This app has been great to keep in touch with my elderly father who is hopeless with tech. With this app he does not need to download an app. All he has to be able to do is click on a link from an email. Thanks so much!

Free/cheap, simple, easy to use, it works, nice user interface, no booting off after 30 or 40 mins like some better known providers, no pervasive installation of apps. iOS app works well too. As a small business owner who sends meeting invites to clients, the fact that I don’t have to force my clients to download or sign up (a few clicks to access via a browser) is really valuable from a customer service perspective. Have used through the pandemic preferentially over all other options.

Ease of sharing screen and watching YouTube videos together were the main highlights for me. These features are only available on the web it seems. Such a shame! Any chance they will be implemented soon?

I’ve been using whereby and it’s predecessor appear.in for years and always rated it highly. Since lockdown I’ve noticed performance issues with other video networks but never whereby.

Very easy to use and the free version is better than Zoom for unlimited time and small numbers. No need to keep sending a new link each week for regular meetings. The screen share facility for sharing PP slides could be better.
