Discord is an American instant messaging, and digiting distribution platform designed for creating communities. Screensharing is being rolled out by Discord to its mobile users. It is a smart move for increasing users. 

Screensharing means that you just share whatever you're watching with anyone in a voice channel on the screen of your mobile. You can watch anything from TikTok to Twitch in real-time with your friends from anywhere in the world while chatting. 

This feature is simply astounding. It has highlighted the importance of casual hangouts in this period of the pandemic when ease is taken away from everyday life and people are meeting virtually via video calling and telephony enabled apps. 

Features like this one can return a little bit of that back to social interaction, as it allows users to drop in and out whenever. One can screen share to a Discord voice channel and any of the friends can just join in whatever they feel like doing, be it Among Us or just scrolling through the camera roll.

This new feature is about to recreate the feeling of hanging out with our dearest friends as we did before the pandemic.

Lately, more and better functions are being added to the apps with the help of collaborations that Google does with programmers who design extensions in its browser.

Google Meet Call Timer

This extension allows you to know the duration of your Google Meet Call. As a timer is added to your Google Meet Calls.

Prior to the pandemic, videoconferencing tools were rather a dull area of tech. Whereas this year due to Covid-19 they have become a crucial lifeline and many of us have adopted the habit of dealing with people over videotelephony and chat services enabled apps such as Cisco Webex, Google Meet, Zoom. 

Cisco recently introduced a bunch of new features for Webex aiming to improve work from home services. The new update includes a tool that is able to create meeting highlights on just verbal command. By use of which one can easily convert a phone call to a video call and other. 

The video telephony and chat services enabled apps are fierce than ever. Zoom leading the list with all the best yet unchallenging features. As the tough competition amongst these apps including Microsoft's Teams and Verizon's BlueJeans, Cisco felt urgency to level up its game to stay competitive. Hence added some of the best features.

Here are some of the new features Cisco introduced recently:

Noise cancellation: Webex will automatically "detect and suppress" common noises such as rustling papers and loud typing. 

Transcription: Webex will generate searchable transcripts of calls, making it easy to catch up if you've missed a meeting. It's also adding closed captioning, which will it easier for hearing impaired people participate in virtual meetings. 

In-meeting gestures: Coming next year, meeting participants will be able to make a "thumbs up" with their hand and Webex's AI will translate that motion into a thumbs up icon on the screen for everyone to see (helpful for people who have a hard time finding the buttons on the app). 

Real-time translation: Starting in February, you can listen in on a meeting where the speaker is using a different language and get a real-time transcription. Each meeting participant can choose which language they want. The feature will be available in English, Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Dutch and Japanese.

Meeting templates: Using the roundtable meeting template, for example, every participant will have the opportunity to speak once before anyone speaks twice. This feature is also coming soon
