Otherwise, you can download Meeting from the TeamViewer website. With Meeting, you can hold video conferences with up to five participants free of charge; for more participants, you need one of the paid versions.

TeamViewer’s conferences score with end-to-end encryption and are transmitted in HD quality. In addition to the Meeting, you can also communicate via chat and share your screen with other users in 4K quality. You can start spontaneous HD video conferences at any time; however, to schedule a meeting, you need to register.
