Free video messengers are still an association. Years pass, the competition has arrived, but Skype is still the proposal that could not be missing from our list. The messenger is identified with the possibility of conducting voice conversations and video conferences (also group) and although Microsoft is systematically trying to change it, these functions remain the most important here. Talks can be recorded and used during their duration of the background blur option. There is also a voicemail, a smartphone converting option and an option to contact people who do not have Skype. After obtaining a local phone number, you can connect to a smartphone or classic phone user, although you have to take into account fees. Sending text messages? Also available. In addition, Skype allows for internal text communication (also as part of group chats), sharing photos and videos or integration with outlook. The messenger can be used on various devices, among others on computers and laptops, Xbox One consoles, tablets, smartphones, and even Amazon Alexa and Kindle Fire HD.

King of free internet messengers. Especially on the Polish market it is a position that many people come here first. At one time, the manufacturer decided to separate the messenger from the main Facebook application and ultimately it probably turned out for good. Messenger is primarily used for contacts with friends (individually or in groups) and sending test messages (with information whether they have been read), which can be enriched with the enormity of gifs or emoji icons. You can also use the options for sending files, voice messages and video calls or location sharing options. The application is not limited to a list of free phone messengers, you can also use it on a PC or a laptop. Although in a few years the manufacturer seemed to have several visions of application development, recently everything seems to go in one direction. Among the recent news, the dark motif focused the most.

If Skype or WhatsApp is not responsible for any reason, Viber may be considered a solid alternative.And if so, and in this case you can focus on the possibility of communication as part of voice connections and video calls.The list of functions, however, is much longer and also includes text communication (with the support of stickers and GIFs), sending photos as well as voice notes and video materials.Also here, communication with other application users is free, you only pay when connections to cell numbers.Viber in mobile versions has a very intuitive interface, it strongly resembles the interface of modern smartphones.

In addition to messengers dedicated to applications at work or enabling you to stay in touch with family and friends, you also need to distinguish free game messengers that are useful during network games. Based on customer-server architecture, TeamSpeak is in this context one of the best proposals, both in terms of functionality and correctness. It enables conversations in the form of a group chat (in the free version the number of people is limited), with an extensive system of granting permissions and sound quality adjustment options. You can also send messages and files (directly or group chat). It is possible to use AES encryption of all data on the server or individual channels. The appropriate overlay guarantees quick access to basic options (e.g. volume control, list of participants of conversation or notifications), so you can focus on the game. It should also be mentioned that the creators give access to really many additions to personalize the messenger.

If not TeamSpeak, maybe Discord?He is also a messenger for players whose creators are not afraid of open competition with the competitor.They clearly emphasize that they have more to offer for less.As for expenses, it is appropriate to agree, because Discord is completely free in full functionality (you do not need to pay servers for more players).In addition, the basic functions look similar, also using Discord you can conduct voice calls, as well as send messages and files.And here there is no shortage of options for granting permissions or presenting the most important information during the game.The option not available in the cited competitive is the integration of the YouTube Gaming and Twitch messenger, and there is no doubt that game fans are visiting quite often.Discord himself also does not complain about the lack of popularity.The creators boast that about 14,000,000 players use it.

Perhaps not everyone knows, but also not complaining about the lack of interest in Line is a messenger from distant Japan.Initially, it was only available on mobile devices, but over time it also began to be offered on computers, and even in the Chrome Web Store as a browser extension.The main features of this messenger are above all free voice and video conversations (even with 200 people at the same time), but also chats, with which you can share files up to 1 GB - photos, videos, stickers (some is paid), and even voice messagesand locations.For people often changing devices, an important advantage here will probably be the synchronization of the PC version with mobile ones.There is also a space to store your data, which may want to send someone in a while and have quick access to them and something for younger ones - a mini face play game.

Another of the very popular and also liked messengers.The uninitiated may not know that for a few pretty years WhatsApp belongs to Facebook, especially it has never been flaunted.Initially, WhatsApp focused on text messages, but the growing functionality led its time (specifically in 2016) to the appearance of video calls and from that moment the messenger began to attack Skype strongly.Text talks can also be conducted in group chats (out of over 200 people) and not only sent the text, but also photos, video and documents (up to 100 MB).WhatsApp provides easy service thanks to integration with the address book on the smartphone, it also has the option to provide location and synchronization of chats between mobile devices and a computer.

If you look for comparisons and alternative choices, Telegram is a more interesting proposition for many than Facebook Messenger. From the very beginning, the creators emphasized that they are focused on simplicity, speed of action and safety. The telegram allows not only text, but also photos, videos and various files (including doc, zip and mp3) or voice notes. It is possible to create groups consisting of up to 20,000 people, as well as setting a message order after a certain time. Of course, there was also encryption and synchronization (importantly, very efficient) between compatible devices on which the user uses the messenger. You can even use the options of voice calls, but in this respect a little better falling out of other proposals discussed here. Telegram, like Facebook Messenger, focuses on a written word. Although it is currently much more extensive than in the initial period of its existence, he still remains a quick messenger.
