During the lockdown period, the only means of connecting to our dear ones is through a video call. But at times the video becomes laggy or pixilated and it gets frustrating that we can't view the other person clearly. This leaves us with the only other solution, an audio call. But audio calls are just too boring!

Well, not any more. Connect to your dear ones using Feather.

Feather is a simple to use, lightweight video calling service that lets you connect to your dear ones even in the poorest of networks.

So how exactly does Feather work?

Feather converts your video stream into ASCII stream right before transmission, in-order to provide a seamless user experience, simply because transmission of text requires less bandwidth as compared to transmission of a video stream.

Conventional video calling services transmit video and audio, while Feather transmits text and audio.
