Hey! I've been using Whereby at work for a while and it's great.

However, I should mention that it's not possible to join calls through the mobile app (as far as I can tell), and the web app on mobile wouldn't capture my Bluetooth headset's audio properly somehow.

Again, thanks for the great work. Just thought I'd let you know :)

Thanks! It is very valuable with feedback like this, even if in this case we're painfully aware of it. :)

I was working on fixing up that when COVID-19 hit. Now we're trying to stamp out more obscure audio+video bugs (like bluetooth, which can be unreliable). We're in process of hiring a few more people so we can hopefully put someone on caring more for the non-logged in mobile app experience.

You do get a join button once you've logged in. But I must confess it is not a good experience by default. It used to be on the top of the priority list, but then scaling and any video/audio issues jumped to the top.
