Free Microsoft Teams Alternative.

When Teams is too much
Microsoft Teams is a full collaboration platform: chat, files, tasks, calendars, wikis. For enterprise teams that live in Microsoft 365, it makes sense. But if you just need a quick video call with a client, a freelancer, or a friend, Teams is overkill. The setup alone takes longer than most calls.
How it works
No setup wizard
Click Start Call. No organization to create, no admin console.
Share one link
Drop it in Slack, email, or a group chat.
Everyone joins instantly
No Microsoft account needed. No app needed. Browser only.
Everything you need
Simple video calls for everyone
Not everyone has a Microsoft account. Not everyone wants to download Teams. When you send someone a browser link instead, they click it and join in seconds. No 'request access' prompts, no 'download the app for the best experience' banners. Just a call.
Why switch from Microsoft Teams
No Microsoft ecosystem
Teams pushes you into Microsoft 365. We push you into a call. That is it.
No complexity
Teams has channels, files, tasks, wikis. You just want a video call. We do that.
No IT setup
No admin console, no user provisioning, no tenant configuration.
Guests join instantly
External people click the link and join. No 'request access' flow.
“The best Teams alternative is the one that does not need an IT department to set up.”
