Increasingly, no. Attackers routinely disguise malware as legitimate meeting installers. If a meeting platform trains participants to accept a download before every call, it normalises the exact behaviour attackers rely on.
Why this is a platform decision
Security training tells people to be careful about downloads, but an install-prompted meeting asks them to accept one at the worst possible moment. External participants, patients, students and vendors use devices your organisation does not control. On managed devices, installs may be blocked entirely.
Browser-based meetings remove that surface. Participants click a link and join in the browser they already have, with nothing to execute locally and nothing for IT to whitelist.
What browser-based should mean
- Hosts as well as guests can run the full meeting in a browser.
- Screen sharing, recording and breakout rooms are available without a client.
- Modern browsers, including Safari, are supported.
- No extension or plugin is required.
AONMeetings runs in the browser for hosts and participants alike. Explore platform features or choose a plan on the India pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app to join a video meeting?
Not on browser-based platforms. AONMeetings participants join through a link in a modern browser with nothing to install.
Can I join from a locked-down work computer?
With a browser-based platform, yes. There is no local client installation requiring IT approval.
