X announced that they are launching audio, and video call facility to non-paying users.

Now this is not a totally unique feature in the industry because apps like WhatsApp and Messenger have had audio, video call features for a very long time. But if you are a nonprofit or ministry that uses X platform for customer service, then this becomes significant for you because offering customer support through an audio or video call might make it operationally easier for your media team.
