Social media platform X rolls out audio, video calling

Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is launching an early version of video and audio calling for some users, according to chief technology officer and owner Elon Musk, as the billionaire pushes for X to become an "everything app".

well looky here...

If someone can post proof that this feature actually exists, or some kind of reputable news report or announcement, I will ask another Trustworthy user to review it.

If the feature is only "announced" and not real, we probably can't resolve it yet.

@EliGaultney why did you just buy no?

@Eliza https://twitter.com/cb_doge/status/1717253714321228087

@EliGaultney @Eliza I do not seem to have the setting, so I don't think it's fully rolled out yet.

@Vergissfunktor I didn't see that announcement yet lol

Elon Musk Teases Audio And Video Calls At X

X is tinkering with video and audio calling at the platform formerly known as Twitter, according to a post Wednesday by owner Elon Musk.

Seems like its an announcement teser screenshot.

https://manifold.markets/alessandro/will-x-implement-voicevideo-calls-b?r=VGhlQmF5ZXNpYW4 This

market has a higher chance of resolving and is still at 95

Will X implement voice/video calls before EOY 2023?

95% chance. Resolves YES if X (former Twitter) implements voice/video calls before EOY 2023. Resolves NO otherwise.

@TheBayesian Do you think there is anything about these two markets that are not the same? Is there some possibility this one resolves No and the other one resolves Yes? I wonder what I'm missing.

@Eliza This one has a market marker whose last manifold markets visit seems to be 2 months ago? Idk how this side deals with market makers that leave

whereas the other market maker was on the site at least 5 days ago

@TheBayesian site* not side

@TheBayesian Trustworthy users have the power to resolve markets when the creator is inactive. I promise it will resolve Yes promptly if it is determined to be a Yes. I have been trying to search for someone who publishes an actual article (not Tweets) about this 'feature' to have some kind of proof that it is Yes and not just a misunderstanding.

@Eliza Makes sense, thank you. When I got on X there was a thing saying ‘we are adding video calls to X’ or something, so knew this would most likely resolve yes. But the two markets keep having a few % apart, ig there’s not that much money in aligning them? Idk

@Emiliano

@Emiliano are you still on the site?

Just started rolling out.

I do not think Elon Musk will provide a voice and video call feature before 2024 but rather the start of 2024. According to the abc news, Elon Musk plans to provide voice and video call services. However it does not give a specific timeline as to when this will be launched (Associated Press, 2023). According to the graph above as of the 23rd of october at 12pm, there is a 26% chance that twitter/x will provide voice and video call services before 2024. This means that there are more people that think Twitter will not provide these services. this could be because of the timeline.

An article by Forbes News also highlights that Elon Musk released a teased video about x to change twitter to an "everything app". There was also no launch date in this video. However, there is a probability that it might come out sometime next year as he released the video this year (Ray,2023). Musk also released this tease video since August yet has not introduced the feature yet (Ray,2023).

Elon Musk says his social network X, formerly known as Twitter, will give users the ability to make voice and video calls on the platform

They already are doing voice/video for streaming, its just a matter of sending the stream to a single user instead of everyone at once.

@Blomfilter Except delay matters much more and probably many other small things

@roma ya but the CTO put the "cool" tag on it in their jira sprint https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1714343357286092987

@Blomfilter looks like that Cool tag got bumped to last weeks sprint
