Private and Group Calls

You can now initiate calls in both private and group chat rooms. The Call button has been added to the room toolbar, next to the intercom button.

In private rooms, calls work similarly to regular phone calls. When initiating a call, you can choose between a voice call and a voice and video call.

In group rooms, a call works as an advanced Nudge and can be used to invite a group of colleagues to a meeting. You can choose which room participants to call, and those who accept the call will join a meeting in the group chat room.
