Hi Product Hunt! I'm the founder of GlobalConnectLive, and I built this because I kept running into the same wall with Zoom and Google Meet — **free calls that die after 40 minutes, at the exact moment the conversation matters most**. Job interviews, family catch-ups, client demos, doctor consultations… nothing like a countdown knocking you out of a good talk. The bigger frustration was my own data. I wanted a place where meetings were **mine** — not a product where my conversation becomes someone's training data or ad-targeting gold. So I set out to build a video meeting tool that's private *by default*: end-to-end, no data mining, and genuinely free for as long as you want to talk. The "aha" shift while building it: making the **host** pay a small subscription while **guests join free** — no downloads, no accounts for guests, no time limits. Suddenly the pricing wasn't a tollbooth, it was thoughtful. You pay for what you host, not for showing up. The launch itself taught me to obsess over the first 10 seconds — if setup isn't instant, people leave. Today, GlobalConnectLive goes from link to live video in about 10 seconds, on any device, no install. I'd love to know: **what's the longest meeting you've ever been kicked out of?** Drop it below — and try GlobalConnectLive for as long as that call was, for free.
