Meetings

Video calls are part of Calendar and Chat. There is one kind of call and one way to join it: a link that opens in the browser, with nothing to install. You do not open a separate Meetings app. You schedule a call in Calendar or start one from a Chat channel, and everyone joins from a link.

Schedule a call in Calendar

1. Open Calendar and create an event.
2. Add the people you want on the call. An event that is not all-day gets its video call link on its own as soon as it has a guest, before the invitation goes out.
3. Save. Each guest gets the invitation with a Join video call button and the link as plain text.

The link is in the Video call link field of the event. If an event has no link yet, for example because it has no guests, click + Video call next to the field to add one. The icons beside the field join the call and remove the link. A link you paste yourself, from Zoom, Google Meet or Teams for example, is used as it is. Calendar lists everything the invitation carries.

Customers who book through Appointments get the same link in their confirmation and in their calendar invitation.

Find the calls on your calendar

In Calendar, open the filters in the search bar and choose Has video call to show only the events that have a call.

Start a call without scheduling it

For a quick call, start it from a Chat channel. Click the call icon in the channel header and the others see a prompt to join. See Calls from a channel.

Who can join

Anyone who has the link can join from a browser. A guest does not need to sign in, and does not need an account or Chat. Guests from outside your company get the link in the invitation email.

Recording

Call recording is not available yet. It is switched off in every workspace and it stays off until it has passed our checks, so do not count on a call being recorded. Call recording & transcripts says where it stands.
