If you follow modern internet trends closely, you could not fail to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for video communication services in general and online video chat services in particular has grown substantially. But something else is interesting: this demand has not especially decreased even since the pandemic ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020, many popular random video chat services saw an audience growth of approximately 30%. Some more, others less. The subsequent drop turned out to be quite insignificant and amounted to about 10% at the current time. In other words, over several years, video chat services have increased their permanent and active audience by an average of 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why did this happen?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most obvious answer is social isolation and lack of communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as tightened quarantine measures. But in most countries, these restrictions have already been lifted, and interest in the video chat format still has not subsided. This indicates that demand was not driven solely by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s work it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s quite obvious that, first of all, the demand for video chat with the option of conferencing has grown very much over recent years: Skype, Zoom, Google Meet and the like. They have become a real boon for people who need to study or work remotely. And for maintaining contacts with family and friends, this format is ideal. But at the same time, it\u2019s not at all suitable for those who want to meet new people on the internet. There are other platforms for these people \u2014 random video chat applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The basic functionality of most of these video chat sites is identical \u2014 they simply connect you with random people, giving you the opportunity to communicate via video and discuss almost any topic. At the same time, the conversation itself is as close as possible to a face to face one. You can see the other person, hear their voice, and observe gestures and facial expressions. In this way, you can get to know a person much better than when meeting on a website or in a dating app. This means that your encounter may turn out to be much more promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously, it\u2019s impossible to answer this question in one sentence. Modern society has come a very long way to reach the understanding that the most convenient and practical communication format in the 21st century is video communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But let’s try to figure out what contributed to this, if we deliberately do not take into account the aforementioned COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is actually not the whole list of reasons why video communication today is so actively replacing ordinary texting and even telephone conversations<\/a>. If ten or fifteen years ago it was very rare to see a person talking to someone via video, for example, in a cafe or in a park, today this is a completely familiar phenomenon for everyone. And it’s great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it is very difficult to predict how communication between people will change in the foreseeable future. And it is impossible to say with absolute certainty that in ten years video chat apps will remain as popular as they are now. Many experts believe that very soon we will all switch to other communication systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be that as it may, we should take a closer look at new technological solutions. After all, what today seems strange and useless, may turn out to be the main means of communication between people in five or ten years time. It is not a good idea to underestimate modern scientific and technological progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you follow modern internet trends closely, you could not fail to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for video communication services in general and online video chat services in particular has grown substantially.
