Calling a Group Quickly

You can call a group directly from the Start a Call and Start a Chat screens.

  1. In the Home screen, tap the Call icon at the bottom of the screen.

    The Start A Call screen appears.

    Note: This method also works if you tap the Chat icon.
  2. If the group that you want to call is not displayed on your screen, use the Search box to search for the group name.
  3. Tap the G icon at the left of the group name. A list of choices appears.

  4. Tap the Call icon to call the group.

    The color of the Call icon depends on whether members of the group are online and available:

    • If there is at least one member of the group that is online and available, the Call icon is green.
    • If all online members of the group are unavailable, the Call icon is red, and the text changes from Call to Urgent. When all users are unavailable, you can only make an urgent call to the group.
    • If all members of the group are offline, the Call icon is grey.

When you are calling a group, the recipients see your name and the name of the group that you are calling. This ensures that they know that this is a group call.
