Always on the lookout to improve the Blackberry Messenger (BBM), Blackberry has announced a multi OS voice and video conferencing service simply known as BBM Meetings.
BBM meetings is a cross-platform voice and video chat functionality with a touch of enterprise. It allows users turn a BBM standard chat, group chat or voice call into a live BBM meeting and allows up to 25 people per meeting. Users can join the meeting on the go, dial in from any phone line, automatic update of calender to show meeting dates and users are alerted when the meeting is getting underway.
BBM Meetings is available for Blackberry users on Android, Blackberry 10 smartphone users and on desktop for Windows PC & Mac users. Users on iOS would sooner rather than later get the new service. Devices – ( both mobile and computer) willing to the service must meet up the following requirements:
