How to call other people
You may want to set up a video or audio conference call with your team members. To do this, follow these steps.
- Click the Meet Now icon at the bottom.
- Type a subject for the meeting, if necessary.
- Click the Off switch to make it an audio-only call. Otherwise, leave the switch alone, and click the Camera icon to activate your own camera.
- Click the Meet Now button.
- At the meeting window, right-click the name of each person you want to participate, and ask each one to join (Figure F).

After all the participants have joined, you can chat with the entire group or individual participants and share your screen--either the entire screen or specific windows. Just make sure you're using the desktop app to take full advantage of screen sharing. You can also see a list of all participants in the right pane where you can mute their audio or remove them from the meeting.
You can easily and quickly contact individual members.
- Click the icon for Calls on the left sidebar, and select the option for Contacts.
- Click the button to Add Contact, and start typing the name of one of your team members. After that person has been added, you can now chat, email, place a video call, or place an audio call to that person (Figure G).
