Kim Dotcom ready to take on Skype with end-to-end encrypted video calling service

Mega has opened beta testing for a new encrypted video calling service that integrates with its existing file hosting and sharing offerings.

The new MegaChat only supports voice and video calling for now, but text chat and video conferencing will be added soon, Mega founder Kim Dotcom said on Twitter.

The service runs inside Web browsers, not through a dedicated application, and is free to use. It can be launched from the mega.nz (not mega.co.nz) website by clicking on the new “Conversations” button in the left-side toolbar after logging in.
