X likely to roll out video conferencing feature

X, formerly known as Twitter, had introduced video calling feature some time ago.

Owned by Elon Musk, the social media platform now wants to take on services like Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams with a video conferencing tool.

According to Chris Park, an X official, the video conferencing tool was tested during an internal company conference in the past few days.

In an X post, Chris Park stated that the initial response to the video conferencing tool from those working for the company has been quite positive and that the app will be working on various features for video conferencing.

X owner Elon Musk reacted to Chris Park’s post with a fire emoji, which could be considered a formal confirmation of the new feature.

According to a report, users will be able to instantly start or schedule new video meetings on X like other video conferencing services.

Under this feature, the hosts will be able to set a unique code for each video meeting, with the help of which other people can be a part of the video conference.

It is not yet clear when X may introduce this feature to users and it is not possible to say whether it will be available to all users or only those who pay a monthly fee.

Note that most new features from X are now limited to those who are part of subscription programs.
