Zoom alternative
The everyday footprint — HD meetings for 100, webinars, apps for Android, iPhone, iPad and Mac plus the browser, a free tier with no sign-in. Then things Zoom was not built for: leak-traceable secure sessions, live classes for up to 10,000 students on the broadcast path, rupee pricing and servers in India.
Why Supermeet
Secure mode is app-only: attested apps and per-session keys. Screen capture is blocked where the operating system allows it (Android), detected and blacked out on iPhone and iPad, and traced by the mark everywhere: an invisible mark unique to each participant, drawn on their own device. Zoom's watermark is a visible overlay.
How secure mode works →Webinars for up to 5,000 attendees and live classes for up to 10,000 students go out as low-latency HLS through a content network, with a 2–4 second target delay. The Webinars plan is not priced by capacity tier.
Meetings per host per month, with Pro 20% below Zoom Pro's list price in India and in dollars; webinars per month plus attendee-hours; GST extra in India. Organizations pay in advance on the web and nothing renews on its own.
The application and its database run in Bengaluru; recordings are kept in object storage whose location is not limited to India. Designed around India's DPDP Act, with grievances to privacy@supermeet.io.
Whiteboard and slides travel as data, not video; students can swap the teacher's video and the content; a raised hand can be invited to the stage; data saver and audio-only modes in the apps.
Client SDKs for Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web and a Host SDK for Node, given to registered developers; secure sessions run inside your own registered Android and Apple apps.

How it works
Members sign in with Google or a one-time email code; roles are set in the console. The free tier needs no card.
Schedule meetings for a time and set webinars up with their registration pages; registrants get a calendar file and email reminders. Old recordings cannot be imported as replays, and there are no recurring meetings.
Board reviews, paid courses, exam prep: app-only join, screen capture blocked or blacked out where the device allows, and an invisible mark for each participant. The apps tell participants that what they see is marked to their account.
Teams paying dollar invoices for meetings they could run in rupees. Creators and companies that run webinars and classes for thousands and are tired of capacity tiers. Organizations whose sessions carry paid or confidential content and who need a leaked clip to be traceable to an account rather than a rumour. Developers who want video inside their own app.
Questions
Free meetings from the first minute; switch on secure mode when a session matters.
