Start a video call

Video calling interface

When video-calling a colleague, there are different features you can use. 

1. Microphone: Using this feature, you can mute or unmute your microphone.

2. Camera: This option lets you disable and enable your camera.

3. Screen sharing: Are you more of a visual storyteller? Use screen sharing to share a window or tab with your colleague.

4. Settings: If you have multiple microphones and cameras connected to your device, you can choose which one you like to use here.

5. End call: Once you’ve discussed your matter, you can end the call using this button. You can also end the call by closing the tab, in which the video call takes place.

ℹ️ Do note that you’re able to video call a colleague one at a time. It’s not possible to start a video call with a group of colleagues.
