Our story
Founded
The company was founded as appear.in during a Summer intern project inside Norwegian telecom company Telenor. One of the very first web applications leveraging the WebRTC standard, before Google Meet dropped Flash and before Zoom adopted WebRTC.
New owners
With a rapidly growing global user base and an established reputation in Norway and central Europe, we spun out and found a home with new owners, Videonor.
Rebranded
appear.in rebranded to Whereby, bringing with it a complete UX overhaul of our video calling solution, now called Whereby Meetings.
Whereby Embedded release
Following market changes driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of the telehealth sector and other virtual communication use cases, we released Whereby Embedded, a highly customizable API enabling developers to add seamless video calling to their platform with Whereby’s celebrated user interface.
Became API led
Driven to make our API best-in-class for telehealth and other growing sectors, we pivoted our product and engineering teams to focus 100% on building and supporting Whereby Embedded.
Continual improvement
We launched new features guided by our partners, while prioritizing enhancements to deliver a more flexible and seamless developer experience. This included introducing AI-powered transcriptions and captions, new SDK releases for fully custom video calling implementations, and continuously worked to improve call quality, reliability and insights.
Building for the future
We are committed to shaping the future of virtual communication alongside our customers by enhancing the flexibility and usability of Whereby Embedded. Our focus includes delivering an intuitive user experience, ensuring consistently high call quality, and exploring innovative AI-powered features to elevate the experience.
