Overview

Description	Confrere aims to simplify the process of making video calls. Instead of asking your fellow meeting attendees to download an app, all you have to do is send them a link via email, calendar invite, or through your booking system. When the other participant receives the link, Confrere sends you a notification through its dashboard and via text message to confirm the meeting. Other features include the ability to integrate Stripe so you can take payments during the meeting, and the ability to customize the app’s appearance such as logo and color scheme so it matches up with your brand identity. Confrere also includes text chat, screen sharing functionality, and end to end encryption. It integrates with Intercom, has an open API, and supports most common browsers. This solution is specifically designed for 1-2-1 meetings rather than large conference calls, and can be used for professions such as salespeople, physicians, tutors, consultants, and therapists.
