Show HN: Ugly Video – less serious video conferencing

I’m Michael, the creator of Ugly Video. Ugly Video is a video conferencing app for the browser built with WebRTC. Its main feature currently is a shared whiteboard canvas that lets users draw and share images.
I made this app due to some frustrations with the Zoom UI. As a student, I often want to create quick meetings between me and my friends to talk about classes or just chill together. From opening the Zoom app to sending out the meeting link, it takes about 5-6 clicks and a few seconds of loading in between.
I built Ugly Video to minimize the click flows for my three most common tasks:
1. Creating meetings - you are automatically placed in a new meeting when you visit https://ugly.video
2. Inviting people - button for copying link on menu bar
3. Generating memes - button labeled as surprise!
I’d love to hear your feedback!
