Elon Musk acquired X (formerly Twitter) back in 2022, and since then the microblogging platform has introduced new features and tools to make the platform better and to enhance the overall user experience. X has set its goals high with the aim to compete with LinkedIn and PayPal in the areas of job listings and payments. Now, a piece of news has surfaced as per which X developers have confirmed that they are gearing up to launch a new professional video calling feature. 

Chris Park took to X to share a screenshot of this new video conferencing tool in action. He wrote, "First ever X Conference meeting with some of my great X and X Developers teammates. Already a really strong alternative to Google Hangouts, Zoom, AWS Chime, and certainly... Microsoft Teams."

Park also shared the feedback that the team has received so far on this new tool. He wrote, "Minimal feedback that is likely coming: Better vis or notification when someone leaves or joins, Ability to pin main speakers or participants, and Less back and forth change on main panel so I don't keep seeing my awesome face (or yours)"
