Yes, you can use Proton Meet for free. With the Proton Meet Free plan, you can host one‑hour calls with up to 50 participants. If you need longer meetings, upgrade to a Meet Professional plan [/business/meet/pricing]. Unlike Zoom, Microsoft, and Google, Proton never profits from your data. We are funded solely through paid subscriptions, so your privacy is our only priority.

Do I need a Proton Account to join a Proton Meet video call?

No, you don’t need a Proton Account to host or join a Meet video call. You can create a meeting instantly for yourself and up to three other participants, and you can join someone else's call via a meeting link.

Is Proton Meet a secure video conferencing solution?

Yes, Proton Meet is an end-to-end encrypted, privacy-first video meeting tool from the creators of Proton Mail, the world's largest encrypted email service. It lets you video call anyone from your desktop or mobile device while protecting your meetings from being monitored or used to train AI. In addition, Proton Meet employs MLS (Multi‑Layer Security) and a series of independent security layers that include transport‑level encryption, zero‑knowledge server architecture, strict access controls, and continuous integrity monitoring to ensure every stage of your meeting is safeguarded against interception and abuse.

How is Proton Meet different from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet?

Proton Meet secures your video calls in ways Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet cannot. These services don't use end-to-end encryption by default, or only do it for 1:1 calls. Some may even use your calls to train their AI tools. With Meet, all calls, screen shares, and chat messages are end-to-end encrypted — not even Proton can access the contents of your meetings.
