X Corp plans to make audio and video calls available to premium, subscription-only users soon, as X CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed last month that video calls will be available as part of the platform’s transition into a “everything app.”
Chris Messina, a tech veteran-turned-investor, revealed new code in the X app that supports audio and video calls from other verified users, people they follow, or people in their address book, IANS reported.
“As hinted in Linda’s sizzle reel, X will be adding audio and video calls shortly,” Messina posted on X rival Threads. “You will, of course, have to pay for that feature, because Skype is dead,” he added.
According to the feature’s description, “Take messaging to the next level with audio and video calls. Turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with”.
Yaccarino stated last month that the company is on the verge of breaking even after experiencing massive churn in recent months, including massive layoffs and platform changes.
Yaccarino said in her first TV interview since taking over as X Corp CEO that video calls are coming soon to the platform, which aims to become a “everything app” like China’s WeChat.
