Viber, a popular VoIP platform and messenger in one, was released on Windows back in May of this year. However, we are talking about the desktop version of the application, so tablet users continued to wait and hope. I had to wait a long time, but it was not in vain, because... a few days ago it finally happened - Viber appeared in the Windows Store. The app boasts of a sophisticated interface that is very simple and intuitive. But most importantly, Windows 8 and RT offer many of the same features found in the mobile and desktop versions of the application.

You can only use Viber on Windows 8 if you are already a Viber user on your mobile device, since the application must first be activated with a verification code that is sent to an already configured account on Windows Phone, iOS, Android or other supported platforms.

After launch, you need to provide Viber with your mobile phone number. Once you receive the code on your mobile, simply enter it into the app and that's it. The application is now ready to use.

Once you are logged into the app, you will be able to call your contacts online for free and send messages, photos, videos and other files. Similar to other similar applications, Viber for Windows 8/RT has a dynamic tile and allows you to pin contacts on the start screen. In addition, the application window can be docked to one side of the screen. This way, you can chat and do something else in another application at the same time.

Alas, the Modern version does not have the ability to make video calls and send voice messages, but there are audio calls and sending text messages complete with emoticons and stickers - all this works flawlessly.

During a call, you can put a call on hold, interrupt it, or mute it. The sound quality, by the way, is excellent. The application can also transfer conversations between devices. To put it simply, you can receive an incoming call on your tablet and then transfer it to your smartphone, or vice versa.

2013 was quite an impressive year for Windows 8. Not only did it release a major update in the form of Windows 8.1, but there were also a ton of popular apps including

Viber for Windows 8 is a program for free communication on the computer. Everyone is used to instant messengers on Android or iPhone, but now it is possible to download this program for PC and laptop. Here you will find the latest version of Viber in Russian and also get acquainted with the interesting functions of the program.

Installation on Windows 8

Advantages and disadvantages

• a full-fledged version for the computer, which WhatsApp does not have;
• audio and video calls in good quality, even with a poor Internet connection;
• public accounts and chats where you can communicate with celebrities;
  Here we described only those functions that are not available in other messengers. Of course, the program also supports file transfer, stickers and other familiar functions.

• send only 10 photos at a time;
• the program compresses the video if it is too large, which leads to loss of quality;
• Messages are synchronized only from the moment the program is installed on the computer;
• Some users complain about the latest version of the program due to empty notifications.

As you can see, the developers have created an excellent product that works without errors on almost any PC.

    Great! The program works, it’s more convenient than Skype, I tested it with friends! We recorded the stream via Viber, everything worked out perfectly (but Skype is still more suitable here). The only problem is: you need a fairly good Internet connection for a stable connection with your interlocutor. Regarding QR codes in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, etc., there is a function to increase the desired area! (Bad cameras will also read QR) Answer ↓

       Do you mean on one device? Yes, 2 people can use it, but for this they must have their own accounts. In this case, you will need to constantly log out of your account so that another person can log in to theirs on this device. Everything is exactly the same as with regular Skype, for example.

20. Marzuda (05/09/2016 at 22:02)

    Not everything is as easy and simple as they explain, I did everything as expected, but at the end it’s not a code, but some kind of QR picture that needs to be scanned, but it’s not clear how to install viber on a computer, it’s not at all an easy task, so I was disappointed. Installing on the phone was much easier. So Tell me what to do with this QR picture and how to get the access code?????? Answer ↓

    1. soer (10.05.2016 at 16:52)

       You need to read it using your mobile phone. In Viber, go to settings, find and click the QR code, a square appears on the screen in which you need to mark the code from the screen. This is additional protection from Viber, which appeared recently. Answer ↓

          1. soer (05/13/2016 at 11:21)

             It literally takes seconds. When you register Viber on your computer, a window with a code appears. Open your Viber on your mobile phone, and on your computer, click the “Open QR scanner” button, when you do this, in Viber on your phone a square will appear on the screen to read the code (if it doesn’t appear automatically, then in Viber on your phone, click in the upper left corner with 3 stripes (Menu) select QR code from the list). Now hold the phone close to the computer so that the QR code fits in the square on the mobile phone. If it can’t be read, move it closer or further away from the computer. Answer ↓

             1. Natalia (05/13/2016 at 20:38)

                Hello, everything seems to be elementary, the QR scanner opens, I bring the phone to the code - it doesn’t read! At least bring it closer, at least further! Why might this be?

             2. Max (05/14/2016 at 22:04)

                Nothing works, the camera on the smart is lousy, Lenovo a390, does not scan at any distance, I tried 50 times, this way and that, both in the light, and at an angle, and very far/close - it’s useless) The matrix is ​​plastic, this QR- the code that Viber sends cannot be read by any scanner from the playmarket (((They come up with all sorts of heresies, but there was a normal activation via SMS or the code came directly to Viber, they could do an alternative activation. I wrote to them in technical support, but I’m sure They won’t fix a damn thing - maybe the QR code needs to be cut down more, so that it shines more clearly) Or let them add an alternative activation code to the installer, well, not everyone has fresh smart phones with normal optics) Here’s the problem, how can I solve it?

             3. soer (05/16/2016 at 12:53)

                Hmm, I don’t know, in principle, with a camera like the Lenovo a390, everything should work. Perhaps it's something to do with the Internet on your mobile? If the Internet is messy, then the phone will not be able to read the code. But these are already assumptions.
