Meet Now button now rolling out to more Windows 10 users

Two weeks ago Microsoft released KB4580364 , an optional update which brought the Meet Now button to Windows 10.

 

The Meet Now feature lets you start a Skype video conference without having a Skype account, by creating a link which you can send to people you want to call. If the other person does not have Skype installed they can still access the service via the browser.

 

 

The feature has been created in response to the increased demand for video conferencing brought on by the pandemic and of course to compete with the likes of Zoom.

 

 

WindowsUnited reports that the feature is now rolling out more widely to Windows 10 users (presumably after Patch Tuesday this week) and I expect Windows 10 users will soon have a convenient built-in video calling system.

Skype for Web system requirements:
Supported web browser: Microsoft Edge and the latest versions of Chrome. Skype for Web is not supported on mobile phones or tablets. However, the Skype app is available to download for those devices.

Note: Users on Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 may be able to sign in but may not receive the full experience of Skype for Web.

No FireFox support have been there for Skype products since the web version launched. Very disappointing - albeit understandable.
