Skye "Meet now" - The Best Alternative to Zoom Video Call.

While all the companies are currently on work from home, Zoom has bloomed out as the best virtual meeting app but is still battling with issues around security.

Skype has introduced another sort of video call whereby nobody needs to sign up for an account or join, in a comparison to Zoom. Skype’s “Meet Now”, allows you to sign up with any prompt and even the host of the meeting doesn’t need to sign up or install any file.

Skype explains the new “Meet Now” as a “hassle-free approach to connect” with different people or teammates that doesn’t require a sign-up, or download any file. Meet Now in Skype enables you to handily set up a coordinated effort space and welcome both Skype contacts and companions or family who are not on Skype. Members can then effectively join gatherings whether they have a record or not

How Do I Create A Skype Meeting?
