On September 13, 2016, Firefox Hello will be discontinued and removed from Firefox. This will happen automatically when you update to version 49 of Firefox -- no extra steps are needed.

Here are a few alternatives to Hello. We hope you’ll find one you’ll like:

  • Talky: Provides both video and screen sharing using WebRTC.
  • Cisco Spark: Create rooms for video calling, group messaging and sharing.
  • Appear.in: Group video calling for up to eight people.
  • Jitsi Meet: Group video calling and screen sharing using WebRTC.

Thank you for supporting the Hello beta. We will continue to develop and improve WebRTC, the underlying technology for Hello.

If you need help with any of these alternatives, please contact them directly.
