Any page with actual details? This just says "download brave", which I don't want to do.

if you are running brave browser, it just allows you to launch a video call, gives you a link to share

It is very strange that they don't even try to give non-brave users any details.

agreed, was just explaining.

does brave route calls through their own server or is this also p2p?

According to the Brave privacy policy Together uses 8x8’s servers, so my guess is that this is using Jitsi Meet.

The last time I looked through the Jitsi Meet config files, by default it uses Google’s TURN servers to route the calls. Not sure how Brave Together is doing it.
