    About Hostpoint Meet

    Hostpoint Meet is a video conferencing solution provided by Switzerland's leading hosting provider. It offers a privacy-focused alternative to major US-based communication platforms by hosting all data and traffic on secure servers within Switzerland. The service is based on the open-source Jitsi Meet project, allowing users to start meetings instantly in a web browser without creating an account or installing software. While the service offers standard collaboration tools like screen sharing and chat, its primary value proposition is Swiss residency and the lack of artificial limits on meeting duration or participant count. It targets both private individuals and SMEs looking for a secure, ad-free communication tool. Although it utilizes encryption for data in transit to the Swiss servers, the company explicitly notes that it does not yet support full end-to-end encryption.
