ALIBABA's office messaging and meeting app DingTalk is allowing users of Tencent Holdings' rival social media app WeChat to directly join any meeting initiated on DingTalk without first registering, reports Caixin.
DingTalk users can now share a meeting link with WeChat users, who can enter the meeting within WeChat. Previously, DingTalk required participants to download its meeting app and register.
WeChat users still need to verify their mobile number the first time they enter a meeting, DingTalk said.
For years, large Chinese internet companies from alibaba to Tencent have used various means to block users sharing links to posts and products on other companies' platforms.
