Call from anywhere

Start a call with any user directly from the avatar menu. No need to navigate to a conversation first; call while working on files, tasks, or other activities!

Accessing the call menu

  1. Click on a user’s avatar from any app in your Nextcloud workspace to open a menu

  2. Select Call {user}

  3. A direct call is initiated immediately in a floating window

Best Practices

  • Check availability: Check user status to see whether people are available before calling

  • Respect preferences: Some may prefer messages over calls. Could this have been an e-mail?

  • Switch to groups: Create a dedicated conversation for multi-user discussions
