Brave browser has launched a private and unlimited video calling service. This feature is called Brave Together, it’s built on an open Source Code of Jitsi, an open-source code project that allows you to easily build and deploy secure video conferencing solutions.
The feature is released on the Nighty version of Brave and only available to North America right now. The Nighty version of Brave functions as a testing and development sandbox for brave to implement new programs and products features, so this means that the newly-released Brave together is in a trial version and Brave is expecting feedback from individuals that are able to text it right
Demand for Video Calls
The global pandemic created a big demand for video calls, families who were far away from each other use this means to speak and see each other, business organisations use this to hold meetings and it serves many other needs. With this demand Zoom received a large number of users.
With the high usage of zoom, many have stated that Zoom is not private and has security challenges and as such individuals demand an end-to-end encryption video calling platform. Zoom plans to release a new end-to-end encryption video call service later this week as reported by Coin telegraph. Brave seems to have done that before them although in a trial version.
Whether this will be a major competitor with Zoom or other video call systems out there is not known yet but some people expect it to be at some point. Brave is a browser that has come to be loved by it’s users for the Privacy feature and also the fact that you earn it’s native token BAT for using it to browse the internet unlike Chrome and other large browsers out there.
Other Utilities
Recently Binance exchange announced that Brave users can now purchase cryptocurrency from the exchange through the browser, this is done through the Binance widget that allows for Quick purchase of cryptocurrency.

Other important features that the brave browsers presents us with is the fact that it blocks all those unwanted Ads. Yes, all those ads you have to click your way through on other browsers, with the Brave Shield it becomes way easier.
If Brave browser would still incentivise the use of this new feature when launched then we could have about 8 million of Brave users potentially using the Brave Together feature and it will be only a matter of time before other individuals start using it.
