People forced out of their offices and schools to avoid spreading corona-virus, there are more video calls going on than ever.
However, a significant chunk of the action has gone to Zoom, and not Skype, Microsoft’s product that has been at the center of online voice and video chats since well before smartphones were commonplace.
Skype is finally ready to fight back with “Meet Now.”
- With Meet Now, hosts can create and share a free meeting with just three clicks, according to the company.
- Even the host doesn’t need to have Skype installed
- you can start the process from its website right here
- Then invite people either using a simple link or the share button.
- If the person you’re inviting has Skype installed then it will open the app directly to the call, and if not then it will open the web client that works in Chrome or Edge.
