### What It Is ### What It Is
Keet is a video conferencing app - like Zoom or Google Meet - but P2P! Keet is the flagship P2P messaging and video conferencing app from Holepunch. It's like WhatsApp, Zoom, and Signal combined - but completely serverless and P2P!
### How It Works ### How It Works
``` ```
Traditional Zoom: Traditional WhatsApp/Signal:
You → Zoom Server → Friend's video You → Server → Friend's phone
Keet: Keet:
You ↔ Friend (direct video connection!) You ↔ Friend (direct connection - no server!)
``` ```
