Which: Signal Foundation
Signal, the popular messenger with a focus on data protection, has a new feature in its luggage: call links!
This feature makes it even easier to hold spontaneous video conferences with friends, family or colleagues.
Here’s how it works
- Create call link: In Signal’s Calls tab, you’ll find a new option to create a call link
- Customize link: You can give the link a name and specify whether participants require approval to join the call
- Split: Simply share the link with your contacts by copying or via other messengers
- Participate: Anyone who has the link can join the conference with just one click
Why are call links so useful?
- Flexibility: You don’t need to create groups to hold video meetings
- Security: Like all Signal calls, call links are end-to-end encrypted
- Simplicity: You can start a video conference with just a few clicks
- Large groups: Up to 50 people can join a call at the same time
What else is there to consider?
- Administrator rights: As the creator of the link, you have full control over the conference. You can approve, remove, or block participants
- Validity: Call links are usually valid for 90 days
- Availability: The function is already available in the current version of Signal (Android 7.21, iOS 7.34, Desktop 7.30) and will be rolled out to all users shortly
With the new call links, Signal makes video conferencing even easier and more secure. Whether for spontaneous meetings with friends or professional meetings – Signal offers you the perfect platform for your virtual communication.
