Frequently asked questions about Whereby

What is Whereby and what is it used for? +

Whereby is a browser-based video conferencing tool from Norwegian Whereby AS, based in Oslo. Participants enter rooms via a permanent URL link, without app installation or account requirement. Features include screen sharing, chat, transcription, virtual whiteboard, and custom branding. An embedded API allows integration into own products. The service targets small to medium teams and SaaS companies.

Does Whereby run on European infrastructure? +

Whereby uses AWS in the Dublin (Ireland) availability zone for its core infrastructure and increasingly relies on the German provider Hetzner. Users in Europe are automatically routed to data centers within the EEA. The data centers are SOC2-audited and ISO 27001-certified. All data is stored in the EU in compliance with the GDPR.

How does Whereby differ from Zoom? +

Whereby works entirely in the browser and requires no download or account for participants. The service is based in Norway under EEA data protection law, while Zoom is headquartered in the USA. Whereby offers permanent room URLs that do not change and can be embedded directly into own products via an API.
