On the crest of the wave in this period of lockdowd from coronavirus there is certainly Zoom, a teleconferencing platform that in recent years had managed to gain a lot of space in professional and corporate communications, but which in this situation of agile work required by the containment measures of the virus saw the number of uses explode. Until recently when we talked about video calls Skype was certainly the name that first came to mind to many, but today on the computers of many there are other applications entrusted to the interaction between colleagues, such as Slack.
One of the strengths of Zoom in this period of exponential growth of videoconferencing and, above all, of spasmodic research by interested parties of means that are easy to use was precisely simplicity. Just a link and in a few seconds you can participate in a video meeting without having previously installed any software or having an account available. Of course, simplicity is not always accompanied by maximum safety, as we noted yesterday, but often the speed of implementation is fundamental in the business environment.
Skype tries for now to recover ground, with an interesting move, allowing you to participate in video conferences without the need to have the application installed on your computer, via a web app accessible from a browser. Certainly the move needed to try to get people back on the platform. I myself the other day received an invitation to a videoconference scheduled on Skype for the next few days and the first doubt that came to my mind was "But I still have Skype"?
Here, now the Skype Meet Now function should prevent this doubt from stopping people from using the Microsoft tool at home.
