what is marco polo app

Marco Polo is a video messaging and video hosting service mobile app that was created in 2014 by Joya Communications. It is a video chat app that allows users to communicate with friends, family, coworkers, clients, and more, on their own schedule, one-on-one or in groups, in a private space with no ads or likes. The app is designed to bring people closer to the people who matter most without asking them to compromise on trust. Users can send video and text messages to others that they can watch on their own time, rather than committing to a video call or posting content publicly to stories. The app borrows Snapchat-like functionalities with face filters and fun ways to draw on yourself prior to initiating the video chat. Unlike Snapchat, the videos don’t disappear, which allows you to keep a running record of your conversations. The app is free to use, with unlimited chats and groups, emoji reactions, special effects, Sharecast, and other fun features. Marco Polo Plus offers a premium subscription experience, including 1.5-3x speed control, background listening, custom emojis, and Plus Passes to share. The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
