How To Use Messenger Integrated Music And Video Sharing In WP7 Mango

Mango messagingPreviously it was thought to be a pretty cool feature in Windows Phone 7 that you could attach an image with your text conversations without using any specific tool or 3rd party app. All you have to do is to tap the attachment button at the bottom of the text conversation which will take you straight to the Picture hub, allowing you to choose any photo to be sent with your SMS. If you thought that was cool, wait till you hear what Mango can do. With Mango it is now possible to send complete songs and video files to your text correspondents!

How you can utilize this little dainty? Simple. Exactly where the photo sharing button was located, there is now a Microphone icon next to it. Once you tap it you can choose any clip stored in your Music + Videos Hub. Now tap on the clip and wait for it to load to the messenger conversation thread. As soon as it’s finished loading, the receiver will be able to view and listen to it.

There is a catch though. You can’t save the received clip to your phone’s memory. It will not go to your Music hub, but you can keep it as long as you want by keeping the conversation thread saved on your phone.

The formats supported for audio are MP3 and WMA, whereas in video files you can send MP4 and WMV files. And it doesn’t end here, for the first time you are allowed to send files from your PC to your phone too! If you are on any social networking site or messenger on your PC, and chatting to a WP7 user, you can attach any file (as long as it is in the above mentioned formats), and viola, they will be there in the conversation thread.
