  Telegram to Introduce Its Videoconference Feature It started as a minimalistic messenger, and later Telegram embraced a publishing platform, chat bots, video calls, Clubhouse-like audio chats… Now Telegram is testing its videoconference feature for both mobile and desktop apps, and it won’t take long.

In portrait mode, it displays active speakers with highlighted microphone and camera pictograms, and the one speaking at the moment is shown on the video. In landscape mode, it’s similar to Zoom, showing...

The recent batch of non-gaming apps to be released on Epic is a bit strange but at least interesting, featuring both basic creative tools and already popular entertaining services. By adding Itch.io, Epic gives its customers access to thousands of indie games already featured there. For the developers publishing their products on Itch.io, though, it’s an incredible way to reach wider audience that’s in the millions. Even if a minor...
