Have you ever been in a position where you desperately
wanted to see a loved one or family member but were unable to do so due to the
lockdown and pandemic? I've been there, and it's not a pleasant experience. We
must keep communication with distant family members and friends due to the
pandemic and lockdown. Now that we have extra time and not much to do, we have
no excuse. Free video and voice calling apps have never been popular in the
UAE. Exceptions are made, though, because of the predicament we've all found
ourselves in. Take a peek at the video and audio calling apps offered by the
video producing firm to keep in touch with family in the UAE. If you would like to download videos from YouTube, make sure to check YouTube shorts downloader.
Updated List of Video calling apps that work in Dubai and UAE
1. Zoom
Zoom video calling was previously forbidden in the country.
It is, however, presently available due to the current situation. While Zoom is
primarily designed for use in conferences and classrooms, it may also be used
to video and audio call family and friends around the world. It can be used for
a variety of purposes, including meetings, online lectures, and conferences.
2. Voico
All Du users in the region can now use this video/voice
calling software for free. Du Voico UAE is available as an app for your phone
or computer (available for apple and android users). Du published a statement
underlining the importance of remaining in touch with loved ones, and as a
result, all of its customers now have access to free video calling. Video/audio
calling, messaging, group capability, and a translator are all included in
Voico UAE. Du's "It's Good to Be Home" ad also offers other
home-related deals.
3. Botim
Many people utilized Botim for long-distance calls even before the Coronavirus was announced. There are two simple bundles to choose from when purchasing Botim. It costs AED 50 per month to merely utilize Botim on your 3G/4G cellular connection. The monthly charge rises to AED 100 if you wish to use it on your home wifi as well. Botim calling has excellent video and audio quality, making it ideal for talking with loved ones, especially in an emergency. Botim also offers its clients a variety of discounts and special offers.
4. Google Hangouts
Another video and audio conferencing service is this one.
This was previously illegal in the United Arab Emirates, but it is now legal.
The VoIP program is completely free and provides excellent audio and video
quality. The software can be used to communicate with distant relatives and
friends, as well as for classes and meetings.
5. Microsoft Teams
This is an internet video conferencing system geared toward
professional settings and international meetings. This is a clear video calling
program that is now free and available to all users. There have been numerous
new features added. You can now raise your hand to talk, and there is a
reservations app, among other things. This is excellent for classrooms and
corporate meetings. Although this is a platform for meetings, it can also be
used to connect with friends and family.
6. Whatsapp
Whatsapp calling has long been prohibited in the UAE.
Whatsapp calling, on the other hand, appears to work on phones that are
connected to the same wifi network. This means you can call your loved ones
from the convenience of your own home. It's not ideal for keeping in touch with
distant relatives, but it could be useful. Especially if you live in a house
that has stairs!
7. Skype
This VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) application is
extremely popular all over the world. In the UAE, however, Skype for personal
accounts is still forbidden. Meetings and conferences on Skype are free for
corporate accounts. This service was previously forbidden, but it is now
available to all companies.
