JumpChat is a free video chat app for Android that supports high-level encryption for P2P communication. It lets you create a private video chat room and invite your friends to join via email, iMessage, etc. You can invite up to 4 users in a room for video chat. Whether it’s a regular chat, meeting, or a business deal, simply use this app to bring your partners into a video chat for better communication. It supports SD or HD quality video chat from browser to Android devices or between Android devices.
Unlike other video-calling apps for Android, it doesn’t require any registration for starting a video chat. All you have to do is create a room and invite people to attend the video chat. In addition to video chat, you can also use the text chat feature for making the communication more efficient. One of the interesting features of this app is that you can start screen sharing during a video chat session, which means whatever you will do in your phone’s screen will be visible to other users in the session.
The following screenshot shows a video chat session with the options to disable video mode, toggle camera, change quality, etc.
The app makes the end-to-end communication more secure using the high-level encryption technology. You can invite people to a room in many ways such as SMS, email, WhatsApp, and even via a QR code.
Note: This app is also available for desktop browsers and iPhone, but I have only reviewed the Android version.
