How can I use Hotmail for video conferencing?

Asked 4 months ago
While Hotmail itself does not directly support video conferencing features, users can leverage other platforms and services that integrate well with Hotmail accounts, such as Microsoft Teams or Skype, both of which are part of the Microsoft ecosystem. To use Hotmail for video conferencing, users would first need to create or link their existing Hotmail account to their Microsoft account. Once the Hotmail account is linked, users can download the Microsoft Teams or Skype applications or access them through their web browsers. For Microsoft Teams, users can create a meeting directly within the application and invite participants by entering their email addresses, including those associated with Hotmail accounts. The participants will then receive an invite via email that allows them to join the meeting at the scheduled time. For Skype, users can create a group chat or call by adding contacts to their Skype account, and they can also invite Hotmail contacts to join. Participants can join the video conference using their web browser or the Skype application. This integration provides a seamless experience, making it easy for users to communicate and collaborate with others regardless of the platform used. It is always advisable to refer to the official Microsoft website or the support page for detailed information on specific features and updated instructions related to video conferencing options available to Hotmail users.
