As you know, at the beginning of this year, Skype acquired the company Qik, whose video services not bad complement Skype itself. Therefore, I occasionally talk about
Qik news in this blog.
Up to this point, Qik existed exclusively in the form of a mobile application and a website where the recorded video was stored. Mobile phone - the perfect device for shooting video "on the go." He is compact, he has access to the Internet and he is always with you. But he is not the best device to work with the footage. Therefore, yesterday, the Qik product line was replenished with the Qik Desktop “desktop” application.
Now, you can sync footage in Qik with your computer, and sharing videos with friends can be done by simply dragging the preview video to a name in the contact list or your favorite social network icon.
Contacts are supported in Gmail, Facebook and Yahoo, as well as the publication of videos on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Qik Desktop automatically syncs with your phone and saves it to your computer, and you don’t have to mess around with cables to find and download video.
Also, the application allows you to combine videos into collections (and the same video can be listed in different collections at the same time - just as you place tags).
Qik Desktop is part of the new Qik Premium service package, which includes:
- unlimited number of video letters *
- unlimited video storage *
- the ability to download videos
- priority technical support
Qik Premium can be tried for free for 30 days **, after which the service will be charged $ 4.99 per month (excluding VAT). First, the service will be available to iPhone users, and then Android.
The main functions of Qik, such as video recording, video streaming and video chat remain free.
