You can make one-on-one or group calls with anyone in your organization directly from a chat without having to host a team meeting. These calls are private and won't appear in any team conversation. Entries for the calls will appear in your chat, though.
- Go to your chat list and select New message
to start a new conversation. - Type the name or names of participants next to To at the top of your new chat.
- Select Video call
or Audio call
to start a call.
Up to 20 people can be on the same video call.
If you're not currently in a chat with the person you want to call, you can start a new call from a command. Go to the text box at the top of your screen and type /call, then type or select the name of the person you want to reach.
You can also start a one-on-one call from someone's profile card. Open it by selecting their picture in a channel or from a search.
Note
- If a group chat includes more than 20 people, calling buttons will be disabled.
- If your organization is set up for it, you can call a phone number directly—even one that's outside your org.
