Polls & Q&A
“I am interested in a European solution. I want an alternative to MS Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. Videocalling via messaging apps is too unprofessional in my opinion.”
“I really want to switch away from US-based services and promote EU-based technology to my friends and family. Thanks for offering this opportunity.”
“I prefer Digital Samba over Skype or Zoom because it works entirely within the app without opening extra windows, has a clean, user-friendly design, and lets me easily share a meeting by sending a direct link or keeping one for myself.”
