Guides

Practical, honest guides for people who want a small, quiet video room on a Mac — no hype, no overclaiming, alternatives named fairly. Written around how Møt actually works: peer-to-peer by default, native to macOS, deliberately capped at five.

• The best Around alternative for macOS (2026)
  Around — the tiny floating-video app — was acquired by Miro and shut down on 31 March 2025. What made it special, the honest alternatives, and why a native macOS app is the closest thing to having it back.
• What peer-to-peer (P2P) video calls are — and why they can be more private
  What a peer-to-peer video call is, how DTLS-SRTP encrypts it, why keeping media off a server can be more private, and the honest limits — mesh does not scale and restrictive networks may need a relay.
• What a virtual office is — and whether a small remote team actually needs one
  What a virtual office really is, the three shapes it comes in (spatial, presence directory, ambient corner), who it genuinely helps, who is better off without one, and the honest question an always-on camera raises.
