Viber Desktop will also be the first of the company’s apps to support video calling. Messages will be sent to all devices, but will only issue an alert to the one that is being used at the time.
It hopes that by offering an “all-in-one solution” that allows full integration between smartphone and desktop, existing users will run Viber on all their devices, while new users will be attracted to the platform.Ĭontacts and conversations are synced between the mobile app and Viber Desktop, while calls can be transferred between the two with a simple tap or click. Viber claims its greatest strength is its easy activation process as users simply enter their mobile number to receive a confirmation code, and competes with other services like Skype and WhatsApp. Users are able to make free voice calls and send messages over a mobile or Wi-Fi network using the popular apps, which have so far attracted 200 million users.
Until now, Viber has only been available for smartphones, with applications available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry. VoIP service provider Viber has signified its intention to take on market leader Skype with the release of Viber Desktop for PC and Mac.
