An Anonymous Google Meet Alternative
Google Meet works excellently and offers an enormous set of tools for live collaboration – until you need complete privacy. It requires a Google account, links calls to real-life identities, and relies on Google’s vast infrastructure and data processing.
EXTRA SAFE is a Google Meet alternative built for complete anonymity. Get unlimited calls for up to 5 people, join from any device, app, or browser, without accounts or tracking.
EXTRA SAFE vs Google Meet
Video Calls
Peer-to-peer, always encrypted, no time limits
Anonymous, device-to-device video and audio streams, asymmetric E2EE protects the call sessions. Unlimited meeting time for up to 5 people. Encrypted in-call chat and file sharing. Screen sharing is available in the browser.
Server-based, account-linked
Most calls are routed through Google’s servers via the SFU model and encrypted in transit. Some 1-to-1 “legacy” calls may connect peer-to-peer. If P2P is not possible, the media is relayed via Google servers, which forward encrypted streams. Time limit features vary by plan.
Messaging (Text & Chat)
P2P chats, ephemeral by default
A P2P, E2E encrypted in-call chatting and file sharing, direct chats with messages that auto-delete by default. All connections use asymmetric cryptography, keys generated and stored on users’ devices.
Account-based chat, cloud encryption by default
Chat is tied to Google accounts; always encrypted, but by default uses cloud encryption (in transit & at rest). Optional E2EE is available only with specific accounts and settings, limiting some features. Workspace users can enable Client-Side Encryption for stronger key control.
Encryption & Security
E2EE by default, locally managed keys, ephemeral chats
Asymmetric E2EE protects all communication: messaging, file transfer, calls. Private keys stay on users’ devices, and public keys secure every session. Servers don’t have access to content or critical metadata, and nothing is retained: chats auto-clear on your timer, and in-call messages disappear the moment the session ends.
Full encryption depends on setup, account type, and call method
Encrypts data in transit using standard protocols (DTLS/SRTP) and encrypts recordings at rest. Phone dial-in audio may not be encrypted. Workspace users can enable Client-Side Encryption (CSE), which encrypts media on the device using organization-controlled keys.
