Dropnook 2.1.0 — video and voice calls between two devices in your network.

  • Calls: the camera button at the top lists the devices that have Drop open right now. Video or Voice — the other one rings and answers with or without its camera.
    • During the call: mute, camera off, front and back camera, swap the pictures, and Photo: a picture of the large video, saved to the shared files.
    • Smaller puts the call into a corner window; texts and files stay usable below it.
    • Picture and sound go straight from device to device (WebRTC). Drop only passes on the messages that set the call up; no server outside your network is asked for anything, and drop-share has none of it.
    • Calls need HTTPS — browsers give camera and microphone to nothing else. Over plain HTTP the button explains that. With users, calls belong to the shared area. Always two at a time.
  • Texts and help in all 17 languages.

Nothing to change on your side: Check for Updates → Update. The Community Apps edition (LAN only, plain HTTP) gets the update too; there the camera button only shows the HTTPS note.
