Kim Dotcom, the famous Australian businessman / hacker who created Megaupload and Megavideo before being arrested for hacking, now manages the Mega secure file sharing service, one of the best in the industry to upload files of all sizes. A new voice and video chat service has now been opened on the Mega site which has the particularity, not insignificant, of using end-to-end encryption, that is, of encrypting and encrypting all communications so that they cannot be absolutely intercepted or spy on the outside.
Megachat is available for free on the Mega.nz website, by logging in with a registered account which, I remember, is free .
Once logged in, you can start a chat by clicking on the speech bubble icon located on the menu on the left side of the page.
To invite someone to chat, you must first go to the contact list by clicking on the man icon from the menu on the left and then add people from the button at the top right, indicating their email address.
Those who receive the invitation can then open the link and must register with Mega.
From that moment you can chat with him by making voice calls or video calls which, in the test done, work very well.
Incoming calls are indicated by audio notifications and displayed on the screen.
For the moment there are not many configuration options and everything works as we see.
Obviously you can take advantage of Mega's powerful file sharing service to exchange files with contacts even during a conversation.
To use Megachat's voice and video chat, you don't need to install anything on your computer and everything works via the web .
For the moment the Mega chat service is only vocal or video, not textual.
In the future, the possibility of making video conferences with more people will certainly be added.
