## What it is
Roll Call is a free, open-source voice chat service with multi-party audio calls and podcast-quality recording, built on WebRTC peer-to-peer connections in the browser. It ships as a hosted web app and an embeddable WebComponent/npm library for adding audio calls to any website.

## Use cases
- make free voice calls between browsers without accounts
- record a podcast with remote guests in high quality
- embed a group audio call widget into my website
- share files during a voice call
- run p2p audio chat without a media server

## When to choose
- you need browser-based p2p audio calls with no signup
- you want per-participant high-quality local recording for podcasts
- you want an embeddable WebComponent for voice chat

## When to avoid

- you need an actively maintained project (last release 2017)
- you need video calls or native mobile apps
