Snapchat brings web-based messaging and video calling

Snapchat features such as snapping, talking, and video calls are now available on desktop via a new web app, marking the first time the firm has expanded its service beyond smartphones.

You may use Snapchat for Web to log in with your Snapchat account and send private messages or call pals from your desktop. The web platform will initially be available only to Snapchat Plus subscribers, and it is the first big feature release since Snap introduced its subscription tier in June. Subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will get first access. Snapchat will work exclusively with Google’s Chrome browser, not Apple’s Safari.
