Brave Talk: Video Conferencing for the Brave Browser

Remember Brave Together, the video calling feature that Brave added to the Nightly version of its web browser in May 2020? Brave Together has been renamed to Brave Talk and is now available to all Brave users.

Brave promises that Brave Talk is a privacy-preserving video conferencing solution.

Brave Talk users can enable multiple layers of encryption on calls, so an eavesdropper cannot listen in on users’ calls, and our servers don’t save metadata, so calls, images, and activities are never recorded or shared without user consent.

The underlying technology that powers Brave Talk has not changed; it is powered by Jitsi, an open source solution that is provided by 8x8.

Brave Talk is integrated in the browser, it does not require a browser extension or external application or installed software. Calls need to be initiated from the Brave browser, but connections to a call can come from other browsers, provided that these support the required technologies.

Brave Talk is available as a free and premium version. Free users get unlimited call times but are limited to one on one calls. The video conferencing solution does support YouTube livestreaming and groupwatch functionality for free users.

What Brave does not mention in the announcement is that free users need to enable Brave Rewards in Brave Browser to make free calls using Talk. Brave Talk does not work without it.

Brave Talk Premium is available for $7 per month. Besides lifting the two-person limit, premium supports call recordings and hosting tools such as entry passcodes or muting of participants. Some of the premium options were available during tests of the free version. Premium is the only option on Android and iOS currently, but Brave plans to launch the free option "in the coming weeks" on these platforms. Desktop users can choose between the free and premium version.

To get started, Brave users may point their web browser to https://talk.brave.com/. The company notes in the announcement that users may also activate the camera icon from Brave's new tab page, but the option was not available during tests. It is possible that it is on a controlled roll out and will land on all devices over time.

Closing Words

Brave continues its complementary services push that open up new revenue sources for the company. Brave Search and Brave Talk, the two services that the company launched recently, include free and subscription-based options. Brave promises that privacy of its users is preserved. For Brave Search, it stated that results will not be filtered.

Brave users who use rewards may find the new offer useful. They trust Brave and new features that promise to be privacy preserving are likely welcomed by them.

Now You: Will you use Brave Talk?

    “Brave promises that Brave Talk is a privacy-preserving video conferencing solution.”

    Brave’s definition of “privacy-preserving” usually only preserves their suveillance capitalism model profits.

    “What Brave does not mention in the announcement is that free users need to enable Brave Rewards in Brave Browser to make free calls using Talk. Brave Talk does not work without it.”

    Assholes. Like having to install Brave to use it would not be bad enough.

    Google Duo exists, and offers everything ‘Brave Talk’ offers. I do find it funny that Brave continues to add more bloat to their already bloated browser.

    As with everything Brave does, this is again a rebrand of an existing product. They have done this with their browser (Chrome rebrand), and their VPN (Guardian rebrand). You didn’t know they had one? (lol).

    Brave and Mozilla sure do like to rebrand things.

    I’m going to uninstall Brave from all my family and friends computers now.

    What a damn joke that “browser” became.. Why don’t you develop a BRAVE OPERATING SYSTEM while you’re at it? Or something even remotely useful.

    Seems a bit pointless to me. There are several free, encrypted, and platform-agnostic video call apps out there.

    (For example:
    https://eylenburg.github.io/im_comparison.htm
    https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html )

    So why would people suddenly start using Brave for video calls?

    It’s an obvious cash grab. Sad!

    I won’t use that function as I simply don’t need it. So far I’m OK with Brave, because unlike Vivaldi, the tab behavior is standard like all other browsers.

    Both restrictions are purely marketing decisions and are a prime example of the use of so-called Dark Patterns by companies:
    The service page simply loads a iframe with https://8×8.vc/ (it’s jitsi) with modified styles. Anyone can simply open said page from ANY supported (by jitsi) browser and initiate a call. You don’t have to have Brave browser at all, and certainly the service works quite well without the need for Brave Rewards.

    In addition, checking that you have exactly the Brave browser on the talk.brave.com domain (to create a call) is also artificial:
    If there is no “brave” object in the navigator (it simply checks if the “brave” object exists), it shows a Download Brave button. If you add this object through the developer’s panel (devtools) in any Chrome-based browser, then the ability to initiate a call “miraculously” appears.

    Funny enough I was on Brave websites to download browser again to check this feature, until I decided to read full article first. Since it requires Brave rewards to be enabled, I’m not interested. Although Brave rewards can make someone earn ‘real’ money through the supposedly privacy preserving ads, to me it sounds all goofy, and so not going to try it.

        Don’t know whether to feel pity at your naiveness or laugh, so let’s do both – Pocket Stories FYI doesn’t include BAT shit, and doesn’t include anything about making money, so very bright of you to compare these two things. This is what I wrote this about Brave reward – “Although Brave rewards can make someone earn ‘real’ money through the supposedly privacy preserving ads, to me it sounds all goofy, and so not going to try it.” Does this real money thing applies to Pocket Stories? Answer is no, then why did you compared these two things?

        Before writing another nonsense comment read this(written by another user) –

        > Pocket Stories FYI doesn’t include BAT shit, and doesn’t include anything about making money

        Dude, Pocket Stories are generated the exact same way like Brave’s ads. A local algorithm analyzes your browsing and is then generating “relevant” suggestions, in Firefox’s case woke news articles, in Brave’s case ads. That users get a share of the revenue in Brave’s case while Firefox just uses to show you woke news is inconsequential to my argument, I was just referring to the bare metal algorithm.

        > and doesn’t include anything about making money

        Firefox includes “Firefox Suggest” which is essentially click tracking, and yes, it is there to make money, but this has nothing to do with Pocket Stories. Just mentioning it because claiming that Firefox has no components aimed at generating money is a retarded lie.

        It looks like you had the opportunities to compare both “bare metal algorithms” with each other. Since Brave as well as Pocket are open source:
        https://github.com/brave
        https://github.com/Pocket
        I kindly ask to link to the algorithms in question. On top of that, it would be very helpful to explain the respective correspondences in more detail to the interested reader; … in order to enable a verification of your racy assertion – “Pocket Stories are generated the exact same way like Brave’s ads” – in this way.

        Shoutout to Irony Heart for completely missing the point. Legend says only Souness misses a point completely more times when talking about Pogba than Irony Heart does when it includes Mozilla.

        “Firefox includes “Firefox Suggest” which is essentially click tracking, and yes, it is there to make money, but this has nothing to do with Pocket Stories. Just mentioning it because claiming that Firefox has no components aimed at generating money is a retarded lie.

        And does Firefox suggest includes BAT shit like Brave rewards? Answer is clear no.Then why are you including it?
        “but this has nothing to do with Pocket Stories”
        That’s it, it has nothing to do with Pocket stories, which in turn has nothing to do with BAT shit involved in Brave rewards, so please STFU. Don’t embarass yourself further.

        “If your FUD BS is allowed to stand, then my posts have double the right to remain. Deal with it.”
        Don’t know what is BS, me saying not using Brave Talk because of Brave rewards or Irony Heart who is including everything about Pocket Stories to Firefox Suggest which clearly doesn’t have anything to do with making BAT shit, and certainly not with Brave Talk. Good job there. I hope the little bird in your head is at rest with writing another useless comment.

        Yeah, yeah… It’s OK. Nothing has anything to do with anything, as always.

        I was pointing out that Firefox uses a local algorithm to pick news articles for you, same like Brave uses an algorithm to pick fitting ads from a list of ads. In both cases this is done locally with no data leaving your PC. Just because Firefox picks news articles and Brave picks ads, does not mean that their algorithms are fundamentally different as far as the basic idea is concerned. If you don’t see a connection between the two, along with the hypocrisy of slamming one but not the other, then I can’t help you.

        You also act as if Firefox has no features aimed at monetization which is factually incorrect, although they operate outside of the Pocket Stories algorithm discussed above.

        What I said here is 100% factual and the truth, and I don’t care if I get slammed by a horde of biased, tribalistic, and trollish commenters over it. None of you have successfully argued against me here outside of deflection and ad hominem smearings, because there is nothing to argue for you. If you slam one browser but not the other when both apply the same tech, you are biased and hypocritical. Full stop.

        Last but not least, would you please stop mutilating my nickname? This is extremely childish and is not a substitute for an argument either. If you just applied the filter rule the other I-have-no-argument-to-make-here-commenter posted, it would make things easier on all of us. Either try to prove me wrong (good luck, I seem to know better what goes on in your browser than you yourself do) or stop being a hypocrite. The choice is yours.

        He can be talking about something (which is not related to Pogba) and then somehow he fits him into the conversation. It is funny, but also a bit sad because he seems obsessed about him. His ramblings are great to watch though.

        Maybe a Graeme Souness exists on this very site? Who knows.

        @Not Irony Heart
        Just Iron Heart okay, first as I’ve said someone here actually suggested a very good idea, but then troll needs to be stopped.

        So let’s begin –

        “You are spreading fake news and then act as if you didn’t. Cool.”

        “I was pointing out that Firefox uses a local algorithm to pick news articles for you, same like Brave uses an algorithm to pick fitting ads from a list of ads.

Just because Firefox picks news articles and Brave picks ads, does not mean that their algorithms are fundamentally different as far as the basic idea is concerned.

        You also act as if Firefox has no features aimed at monetization which is factually incorrect, although they operate outside of the Pocket Stories algorithm discussed above.”

        I would love to know what fake news I shared on this thread and then acting like I didn’t?
        About this nonsense “You act……above” – Iron Heart the first comment on this thread was about Brave Talk and necessity of Brave rewards for using it. It was not about Firefox, where does Mozilla gets its funding, yet you foolishly compared Pocket Stories to Brave rewards. Second Firefox gets money from search engine deals, not through Pocket Stories.

        As Emil has already asked, both Pocket and Brave rewards are open-source, why don’t you link to the algorithms in question?
        It would be nice if you can back up your first comment in this thread which is how Pocket Stories and Brave rewards were written in the same sentence by you?
        Every comment since then has been nonsense, so don’t deflect the main point, face it and explain your point properly for once.

        Plus the link you shared about Brave rewards includes many bits including behavioral targeting. Of course it would be nice to know if Pocket Stories does the same, isn’t it?

      Yes, I can’t help but agree. The browser shouldn’t perform tasks for which better specialized software exists, too.

      I also don’t hear clamors from the community for video conferencing to be added, this is a decision solely made by the developers it seems, because they think it “adds value”. Yet another thing to turn off (after Brave News).

I did put up with Brave because most things can be turned off, but this was just garbage. We can see where this is going, AGAIN.

      What do you care if they develop products that make money? If they maintain my privacy in the browser, I am happy. If they provide other services with similar privacy preserving features that people might be interested in, bully for them. That money they make strengthens the entire enterprise.

      does brave ever do anything on their own, besides building extortion-level advert racketeering patches and shady crypto nonsense for their venture capitalist overloads

      – they added tor but don’t build tor
      – they use other companies blocklists without contributing
      – they use HTTPS-Everywhere’s upgrade rules
      – they use chromium without upstreaming their token minimalist gimmicks (and they added telemetry, for what? they don’t do anything)
      – they hijack existing adverts to threaten creator’s revenue streams .. nice site you have there, shame if something happened to it
      – and now they’re just adding jitsi as a SaaS with the requirement that Brave Rewards be enabled
      – lets not forget they inserted and sent affiliate referrals on some eTLD typed urls – not searches, but typed urls, which no other mainstream browser has ever done

      What a bloated scammy pig of a browser, even the lipstick is wearing thin. Users will need to also get drunk AF to touch this abomination

        > they added tor but don’t build tor

        I hope you realize that other applications aside from the Tor Browser Bundle are free to use Tor. And since the feature exists to hide the IP address, what would have been the alternative? Brave running their own VPN? Then you, the troll, would have claimed the following:

        1) Whaaaat? VPNs already exist, how dare they? Nothing unique.
        2) I don’t trust their VPN anyway.

        So they rather use the Tor network which nobody has central control of and then you still complain.

        > they use other companies blocklists without contributing

        That’s literally true for any adblocker. Most of uBlock Origin’s lists are not maintained by gorhill, most of AdBlock Plus’s lists are not their own. You could hammer them with the same right saying “Why don’t they maintain their own lists?” Furthermore, Brave doesn’t use any lists that are not explicitly said to be free to use by anyone. If you set up your lists to be free to use by any adblocker, why complain?

        Plus, what you said is just a malicious lie. @FanboyNZ, maintainer of the popular “Fanboy’s lists”, is a Brave employee for example.

        > they use HTTPS-Everywhere’s upgrade rules

        Again, free to use by anyone. Name one good reason why they SHOULD duplicate the effort then. HTTPS Everywhere is the best extension for this purpose.

        > they use chromium without upstreaming their token minimalist gimmicks (and they added telemetry, for what? they don’t do anything)

        Do you think Google would accept patches related to Brave Rewards at upstream? Wow, this is dumb.

        And their (mild) telemetry exists because there are unique Brave features contrary to what you falsely claim.

        > they hijack existing adverts to threaten creator’s revenue streams .. nice site you have there, shame if something happened to it

        Any adblocker you use threatens the revenue of websites.

        > and now they’re just adding jitsi as a SaaS with the requirement that Brave Rewards be enabled

        Wake me up should more than 1% of Brave users use this.

        > lets not forget they inserted and sent affiliate referrals on some eTLD typed urls – not searches, but typed urls, which no other mainstream browser has ever done

        There is no difference between “typed URLs” and URLs generated by searches, both are URLs with zero technical difference between them. Every browser uses referrals for searches, when Brave did use this for the Binance website, you can hardly hammer them for it when you accept the same thing for searches (your browser does it, too). Plus, this is totally unrelated to user privacy.

        Btw, I am glad that they make money via privacy-preserving referrals instead of selling user data but perhaps that is just me.

        > What a bloated scammy pig of a browser, even the lipstick is wearing thin. Users will need to also get drunk AF to touch this abomination

        Wow, such an impartial and fair opinion. Exactly what this thread needed.

        and we have a winner ..2hrs 15mns

        Iron Heart lives to protect ghacks comments from the evil world. watching 24/7 like an obsessively deranged super hero living in fantasy where being the last reply, and extreme lengths of a reply, means he wins against evil. In this state those infected are deliriously hypocritical where up is down and down is sideways.

        see the first comment at https://www.ghacks.net/2021/09/18/mozilla-vpn-boosted-with-multi-hop-blocking-and-custom-dns-features/#comments where Iron Heart screams about Mozilla partnering with and rebranding a VPN service

        For those wanting more insight, notice the consecutive moderation by martin indicating that our superhero feels no remorse name calling, as long as the other person does not fit their alternate reality, in order to justify his world view

        the question was “does brave ever do anything on their own besides…”, I guess the answer is no, because it was not on their own

        Impressive kitchen psychology for a captain obvious troll with a no less trollish nickname. Is that name calling? No, you fit the definition of “troll” perfectly.

        I let people form their own opinion while reading the hate-filled replies I get in response for posting factual correct rebuttals (has nothing to do with me being a “hero”, either).

        > consecutive moderation by martin

        I have no influence on Martin believing he knows better than I do what is good for my comments. If anything, your own heavy insults which went through without issue indicate that the rules are scarcely and selectively applied here at best. I will start caring once Martin also censors other people in the exact same way.

        Since you know deep down that none of the points of “Ironmectin” hold much water, you also know deep down that my reply in which I debunk it all is inevitable. I won’t disappoint you, rest assured!

      Chromium from woolyss. com is the only place where I get browsers. No chrome branded stuff here. Fave is ungoogled chromium.

      A couple of pluses for Brave is tor access and torrent dl’s thru browser.
