We were really happy once we found Daily. We were really desperate to find a stable solution.Marc Metz, CEO and cofounder, MeetAnyway
MeetAnyway offers event organizers and attendees a flexible alternative to rigid events platforms, which often lock users into regimented workflows. With MeetAnyway, organizers use a drag-and-drop map builder to create different online spaces. These might include a “stage” for a keynote address, where the audience can post questions by live chat, or an audio room where attendees can “raise their hand” to join in a conversation.
MeetAnyway began searching for a new video call API after a call broke down in the middle of an event. The team passed on several video call APIs due to poor call quality. The team ran a test with a large, publicly-traded video chat API provider, which also broke down — this time, in the middle of a call with 50 people.
By choosing Daily, MeetAnyway can concentrate on other business priorities, knowing that their customers will enjoy the highest quality video calls. Ultimately, the team hopes to provide a reliable platform that helps people build connections for years to come. As Metz explained, “MeetAnyway connects people online in a meaningful way.”
Different types of video room
Each online space in the MeetAnyway map builder is connected to a video or audio room with different settings. Organizers can add areas for “mingling” — video rooms where attendees are matched randomly with others for three-minute, one-on-one calls. Attendees who want to connect with people they've met before can arrange to meet for a private one-on-one call inside the event.
Flexible user controls
Event organizers can give attendees control over video call room settings, where it makes sense: if someone at an open table decides they would like to continue a conversation privately, without being interrupted by someone new, they can lock the video room so that no one else can join that call. This provides a sense of privacy and control.
Spatial awareness
Users can navigate different meeting areas and can see the avatars of other attendees, getting a sense of who's around. Much like an event in real life, you can move to different areas of an event to suit your mood.
