X Tests Video-Conferencing Tool To Compete With LinkedIn, Microsoft Teams
X is Taking its “Video-First” Strategy Even Further
To compete in the business-to-business market and take on other video-conferencing platforms, the social platform formerly known as Twitter is testing a video conferencing tool, which would allow users to start conferences directly from the app.
The tool was first shared by X employee Chris Park on the platform late last week. In his post, Park said that the tool received minimal feedback from his team, and that it would provide a “strong alternative” to Google Hangouts, Zoom, AWS Chime, and Microsoft Teams.
The feedback Park did receive includes developing better notification to indicate people joining or leaving conversations, as well as the ability to pin main speakers or participants.
