We’ve made some updates to TinglyTube Messenger over the weekend, mainly code optimizations and minor bug fixes, but also added a new feature – Video chat! (on PC only)

You can video chat with any of your friends on TinglyTube by clicking on the video camera icon at the top of the chat window and if they’re online, a request will be sent for them to accept, meanwhile you’ll see the video chat interface, which is powered by Jitsi Meet, a free and secure video chat service that is quite similar to Zoom in terms of layout and features, of which there are plenty!

Depending on the resolution of both of your cameras, you’ll be able to chat in up to 720p HD with crystal clear audio.

As noted, video chat is currently only available on PC, but we intend to add support for it, announcements (on PC you'll sometimes see a popup above the Messenger bar, such as the one that might have brought you here, these are announcements), and bell notifications, on mobile soon.

We've also published a handly little help article to help you navigate and master the new video chat feature!

We hope these improvements make your experience on TinglyTube better and we'll continue to experiment and bake new ones up regularly (we've got a few ready for December!) and as always, if you need any help at all, please let us know via our Support/Feedback form.
