While a video conferencing tool was mentioned in the 2024 survey, I wanted to emphasise the value this would have. For those of us who try to stay away from Big Tech providers, video conferencing for things like scheduled catch-ups with friends is one area where existing alternatives are limited.

Signal have done a great job with their video chat option, however this is fundamentally different from a conferencing tool that can be integrated and managed from a calender, and scheduled with invites in advanced.

IMO this would be a great addition to Proton Calender, which is a cool tool, but admittedly the only tool in the Proton suite that I do not use (largely due to this lacking functionality).

Preferably this would not require recipients of call invites to have a proton account, else you're limiting yourself significantly. While I can understand why one would need a proton subscription to send invites, it would be great if the meeting tool made use of 'Suggest changes' like those in Google meet, that would be open to recipients, so that those recieving invites can suggest a new time that works for them, rather than having to decline and then the proton user send out another email.
