Tribe Calls - Skype, made simple. Cross platform & shareable links.

Hi folks! As some of you may have noticed, Tribe shifted from asynchronous to synchronous messaging 2 months ago using fully in-house technology. Since then, the team has been heads down polishing this first prototype. We quickly realized that there are many pain points people experience everyday when video calling others, especially from Skype and Hangouts. Ask anyone, people are not fully satisfied with these old (but legendary) products. Whether it’s kids at school, spread out families, or teammates at work, they all agree that they use these services by default. Skype, Get Your Shit Together by @alex Microsoft needs to fix Skype by @tomwarren Here are the results of our experiments to improve the video calling experience. It’s available now on your mobile devices (iOS & Android), as well as from your desktops (Chrome & Firefox) where you can start a group video call in one click, without any account, for free. Create your first call link now on tribe.pm! We hope you’ll get rid off Skype/Hangouts-induced headaches. 👼 PS: We've also extended the experience for Slack lovers!

Can't really compete with Skype on the entreprise segment (same with hangout) which is usually where the traction is for group video calls. As to call your family or friends / it seems users still prefer to use their messaging apps as their first intent: be it Messenger, Whatsapp etc... So it would be interesting to see how this behaviour could massively switch towards video apps like Tribe. Personally I'm still pissed by the number of texts and requests sent/received to/by my friends (now I even receive sms-requests from people I don't even know...). So I won't be using Tribe again. You can't hack growth using spams and then pretend it's a bug, we've all been through that process and we all know the story. Good luck with the pivot, the technology (despite the crappy marketing) looks neat.

It's Piper Chat !!! 🙌

From day one, I fell in love with the UX/UI of Tribe's app. Literally. I have met @cyrilpaglino and the amazing team behind it and I have understood why this app is such amazing. Started to use it from my different Slack's channels, I am wondering if there are some rooms available on your roadmap for adding the "book room name" feature and maybe put back the text message on. I still have some issues calling people when I did not set it up with them before. I know it's crazy but real! Especially when I can see my friend online on the app, I know they are already in discussion with someone else. #my2Cents Anyway, Keep this up, guys! You're legends!

Why did I get an unsolicited Twitter DM about this launch? The message claimed I was following your Twitter account, but I wasn't.

This team... this product

Awesome work guys! 👍🏻

Congrats on the launch, guys! 🎉

Tribe is now becoming what I have always imagined it could be. This is exciting. Good luck Cyril.
