Secure instant messenger for business teams with screen sharing, voice and video chat

Brosix 6.0 redesigns the 20-year-old messenger and upgrades calls and search.

team-messagingredesignexternal-communitiessmbcross-device
◆Current state
Brosix is a 20-year-old team messenger. Version 6.0 brings a redesigned interface, clearer calls, better search and more consistent behaviour across desktop and mobile. It follows private channels and communities for clients and partners in April and audio and video calling in the mobile apps in May.
◆Where it's heading
After a summer of referral campaigns and how-to posts, Brosix has shipped its largest release in years, modernising the client rather than changing what the product does. The April communities launch remains the one move that widened its scope beyond internal team chat.
◆Prediction
Expect 6.0 follow-up posts and fixes as users move to the new client; the entries do not show a further change of direction.
