If you love group calls on Signal, but don’t want to create a group chat for every combination of your friends or colleagues, you’re in luck. Today we’re launching call links: Share a link with anyone on Signal and in just a tap or click they can join the call. No group chat required.

    Really nice to be able to give a call link to another signal user without having to exchange phone numbers or even username. Quite empowering!

    One of the features I’d love to see on Signal mobile is screen sharing. Other than that I’m quite satisfied with signal calls all together.

    Warning! Unless you setup “always relay call” for voip in signal these calls with strangers WILL disclose your IP address.

    In most scenarios, for people on your contact list, that’s not a big deal. But since call links can be shared with strangers, you’re basically doxing yourself

    Glad they managed to do what other foss things have claiming they have been working on for ages, provide simple, easy to join and e2ee calls without the need for a group.

    Not seen any app etc do this, especially not with so many participants possible and certainly not as easy or with e2ee on every platform.
