What is Uno.im?
Uno.im is a free and open-source video call, chat and screen sharing app launched in 2021. It allows users to connect with friends, family and co-workers across devices and platforms through encrypted one-on-one and group video and voice calls, chat and screen sharing.
Some key features of Uno.im include:
- End-to-end encrypted video and voice calling to protect user privacy
- Group video calls with up to 20 participants

Unlike some other popular video chat apps, Uno.im uses WebRTC with no plugins or downloads required. It focuses heavily on privacy protection through built-in end-to-end encryption. Uno.im has open source clients so its security claims can be independently audited.
Uno.im competes with apps like Zoom, Skype, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Its main advantages are its uncompromising privacy protection, fully encrypted open source codebase and availability across all major desktop and mobile platforms.
