Rooms

A room that is yours.

A private video room with one link, for you and up to four guests. You are the host; guests type a name and knock, and you let them in. Chat, a room log, and regulars you can wave straight through.

Talk

Just the two of you.

One-to-one video and voice calls from a link. The call runs directly between the two of you; we connect it, then get out of the way.

Shows

A live show from a browser tab.

Guests join from a link, and you run the show from one page: layouts, titles, cameras, recording and streaming. Built for podcasts, panels and live events, on your own site.

How a private call works

Two cans and a string.

That is all a private call needs. We tie the string; the conversation runs along it, not through us.

Video and sound go straight from one browser to the others. Nothing is stored on our side, and no third-party studio sits between you and the people you are talking to.

Private: yes. Anonymous: no.

That is deliberate.

It is what keeps this from turning into one more platform full of spammers and bots.

Private

Video and sound travel encrypted, directly between the people on the call. We do not record calls and we cannot watch them.

Not anonymous

Every room belongs to a real, paying member. We know who holds it, so one that is abused can be closed and its owner held to the terms.

What we do keep: your account, your payments, and when connections were made. Nothing of what was said or shown.

One plan

Your room, five seats.

A room with its own permanent link, for you and up to four guests. No time limit. One-to-one calls on getaroom.chat are included.

Need larger rooms?

BrightBorn VDO runs on your own hosting. You control who gets in, where the data lives and how the rooms look. Your rooms, your way.

  • Nothing passes through a public platform. Calls run on a server you own.
  • You hold the keys. Accounts, access and recordings stay under your control.
  • One system, not one licence per person. No per-seat bill that grows with every hire.
  • Your name on it. Your domain and your branding.

We are building rooms for up to 50 and up to 100 people, set up and run on your own server. A fit wherever privacy and access are not public matters: law and accounting firms, trading desks, schools and tutors, churches and member groups.
