Skype Meet now let’s you conference call without sign up or installation

At a time when billions of people around the world have been confined to homes to prevent the Coronavirus from spreading, the rate of video calls has increased dramatically.

But this has benefited a lot from video calling app Zoom and less traffic to Microsoft’s Product Skype section. However, Skype has been providing audio and video calling since smartphones were not introduced.

Zoom has recently gained popularity because it has a sharing meeting feature, while is very easy to use, in fact somewhat simpler, resulting in greater security flaws. But Skype decided to retaliate with a feature called Meet Now.

According to the company, through this feature, one can share the free meeting with just 3 clicks and best of all, the host or host does not even need to install Skype.

This can be taken advantage of by having a free conference call on the website, after which people can be invited via a link or share button.

People who are invited will be able to open the call directly in the application if they have Skype installed, if not then it will be possible to be part of the call on the web client in Chrome or on any browser. The feature was confirmed to users via a tweet from Skype.

By the way, this is not a new feature but it is providing more convenience to users by eliminating the need for signup or installation.

Microsoft said this week that 4 million people are now using Skype daily, and that number is 70% higher than last month.

During the outbreak worldwide, Internet access from millions of people limited to homes has increased, with most working from home, while some are using it as a way to connect with their loved ones.
