Looking for good video call apps? 🤔
These five options are great for both audio and video chats.
VK
Russia’s top social networks lets you audio- and video-call your family and friends or organize video meetings with your peers for free. There are no limitations on time nor number of participants; among some cool features are built-in meeting trannoscripts and subnoscripts, a meeting planner, and the option to watch movies and videos together in real time.
🔵 Web / iOS / Android
Yandex Messenger
This is your usual messaging app: text, share files, and, most importantly, audio- and video-chat with your friends and colleagues. The only catch is – you’ll need to have a Yandex account to use the app (it’s free). If you’d like to hold a call for over 40 participants, a subnoscription is required. Monthly fees start from ₽299 (includes multiple services).
🔵 Web / iOS / Android
Zoom
Here, you can host and join meetings, use an instant text chat, send real-time reactions, and share your screen. Also worth exploring are breakout rooms and online whiteboards. Free users are limited to 40-minute meetings, but once your session ends, you can start a new one – after a little 10-minute break, though.
ITMO students and staff can book limit-free sessions via ISU for work- and studies-related meetings. To do that, simply go to ISU – Личный кабинет (Your personal page) – Бронирование помещений (Room booking).
🔵 Web / iOS / Android
Yandex Telemost
There’s a Yandex app for everything – and group calls are no exception. With Yandex Telemost, you can have free and unlimited access to video meetings. This means all the usual features: from instant chats to virtual backgrounds and real-time recordings. All you need is a Yandex account and stable internet access. Free users may organize calls with up to 100 participants.
🔵 Web / iOS / Android
SaluteJazz
Part of Sberbank’s ecosystem, SaluteJazz, though more business-oriented, still has something to offer to individual users. These are 1-on-1 and group (up to 100 participants in the free version) meetings with a virtual background changer, a screensharing feature, and locally-stored meeting recordings.

Did you know that Russia is a treasure trove of unique animals? 🐏
Thanks to its vast and diverse geography, Russia is naturally home to many unique species of animals and birds that are not just impressive, but also cute and sometimes even meme-worthy!

Pranay Shreshth belongs to the second group. Currently at ITMO on a semester exchange, he is enjoying learning how things actually work. On his studies at ITMO, Pranay comments:
The teaching approach here is highly practical and application-driven. Students are encouraged to implement concepts, work on real tasks, and engage with lab work rather than rely only on theory. The labs and facilities are excellent, which supports hands-on learning. Overall, ITMO feels more flexible, focused, and skill-oriented.
