X users can now make and receive audio and video calls on the social media platform.

X is rolling out audio and video calling features that nobody asked for.

This move is a part of the plan to transform the platform into an “everything app” like WeChat, following Elon Musk’s ambition.

    Considering they can’t even handle user authentication properly, the idea that they can manage a reliable audio/video infrastructure is laughable.

      I mean how many users would use this? It’s not that hard to maintain infrastructure that can hold 5-6 concurrent calls

      Considering also how Elon Musk has torn apart the infrastructure of the thing formerly known as Twitter, they will probably have to do it peer to peer without servers too. 😋

        I wonder if they’ll just use WebRTC and use peer-to-peer. Which is you know, revolutionary… cough
