What is Reddit's opinion of Marco Polo Video Chat?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

marco polo has helped me keep in better touch with my people too - it's asynchronous video chat. you leave a video message - they respond with one when they have time. it highlights how difficult regular live phone calls are when you see all the marco polo vids you're able to leave for eachother.

Technology!

Every year impresses me more and more. I can talk with someone face to face anywhere in the world with an app like Marco Polo. I can look up information about any topic with Kiwix. Wikipedia continues to teach me more than I ever learned in college.

I'm hopeful that prosthetics will continue to evolve to the point that they surpass human abilities. The Paralympics begin next week which is very exciting.

Is this the app?

Not OP, but I believe it's this one.

Hello,

Here are links to the official app in its respective app stores:

It appears the app, once installed, spams the user's contact list to install it, according to these articles: https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/19/someone-knows-something-about-this-marco-polo-app-that-we-dont/ and https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/21/21222523/marco-polo-app-social-distancing-pandemic/.

As to whether or not you wish to install it, that is entirely up to you.

I will tell you than when I go to the www[.]nowpolo[.]com website on my desktop computer, I receive a warning from my security software that "This web page is on a list of websites with uncertain reputation or potentially unwanted content and has been blocked." and am prompted as to whether I really want to visit it.

OK so both Marco Polo and Glide are very ambiguous application names. I suppose you mean the MarcoPolo chat app?

You can replicate that with Synapse+Jitsi.

You should know about Marco Polo, an app which is basically texting but using recorded video of any length.

The app is called marco polo and is some kind of video walkietalkie. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.happybits.marcopolo
