Sign, the privacy-centric messaging app, is expanding its feature set to include video call capabilities, complete with links, reactions, and a dedicated calls tab, aiming to supplant popular alternatives like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
A newly introduced “Calls” tab takes center stage, empowering users to initiate new calls, efficiently manage name links, and access a comprehensive history of all interactions.
The Tab enables seamless creation of call links, allowing you to conveniently share a single link with others instead of generating multiple instances, similar to how popular conferencing platforms like Meet, Zoom, and Groups operate seamlessly. The hyperlinks being reusable enables efficient utilization in recurring conferences, thereby optimizing their usage.
Users also gain access to standard management tools, including the ability to initiate calls, manually add or remove participants from conferences, or terminate and restrict users as needed. Speakers can request to contribute at any time, utilizing a virtual hand-raise function reminiscent of popular conferencing tools like Meet.
Users of Sign’s desktop application have the flexibility to switch seamlessly between grid, sidebar, and speaker views.
Launched with end-to-end encryption, Sign now supports up to 50 team members. Rival WhatsApp started allowing individual users to share their real-time location with friends and family, and this June, it further enhanced its features by introducing.
“Video conferencing has become an everyday hub for global connections among organizations, workplaces, and friend groups.” While communication norms evolve, Signs remains steadfast in its pledge of a private space for individuals to share their thoughts and ideas freely. The company stated that to boost Sign calling’s overall performance, they had invested several months developing a range of welcome improvements.
The Sign platform is now introducing its signature features across all devices – a seamless experience on iOS, Android, and desktop platforms.
