BooknTalk hosts the meeting itself, so a booking carries a working link from the moment it is made — no account, no licence, no install. Or put an address on the event and meet in person instead.
No card required. Included on every event, free or paid.
A booking tool that sends you somewhere else to meet is half a tool
The appointment is agreed, and then someone still has to create a meeting, copy the link, and get it to the other person — which is how clients end up emailing "where do I join?" ten minutes before a session booked three weeks ago.
The usual fix is to make you bring a video account of your own, which means a second subscription, a second login, and a free tier that cuts the call off at forty minutes. BooknTalk runs the video itself instead: the room is minted with the booking, and a brand-new account holds its first session having connected nothing to anyone.
How meetings work here
Hosted by us, on our own server
The video runs on BooknTalk infrastructure using the open-source Jitsi Meet. No vendor account to create, no licence to buy, and no third party deciding how long your session may last. Your client joins in their browser with nothing to install.
A fresh room for every booking
Each booking gets its own room rather than one permanent link everyone shares, so an earlier client cannot wander into a later session. The door opens a quarter of an hour before the start, and a cancelled booking’s link stops working immediately.
The host arrives as the host
The link in your confirmation and the link in your client’s are not the same credential. Yours carries moderator rights in the room; theirs does not.
Or meet at an address
Mark an event as in-person and give it an address, and no video link is created at all — the address travels in the confirmation email and on the calendar invite instead. It applies to a classroom event held in a room exactly as it does to a one-to-one.
What we don't do
There is no recording, no transcription, no breakout room and no dial-in number, and nothing here is administered from a meetings dashboard — a room exists for a booking and then it does not. Teams and Whereby are not supported, so a link from either would have to be sent to your client yourself. If you would rather hold meetings on your own Google account, that is the one alternative.
Do I need a Zoom or Google account to hold a video meeting?
No. BooknTalk hosts the video itself, so a brand-new account can take a booking and run the session with nothing connected anywhere. A Google account is only needed if you would rather the link were your own Google Meet.
What does my client have to install?
Nothing. They open the link from their confirmation email in a browser and they are in the meeting.
Is it the same link every time?
No. Every booking gets its own room, so two sessions cannot run into one another, and the link stops working once that booking is cancelled.
Can I meet clients in person instead?
Yes. Mark the event as in-person and give it an address. No meeting link is created, and the address is what your client receives in the confirmation and on the calendar invite.
Do classroom events get a video link?
Yes — one room for the session, delivered to every attendee in their own confirmation email, so a class of twenty needs no distribution list.
Stop sending links by hand.
Every booking carries its own, from the very first one. See the full pricing if you want the detail first.
