Making a voice call

While you are in a direct, group conversations or Conference Bridge, you can make a voice call, video call or screen share call to other participants at any time. When you start a video call or a screen share call, Circuit automatically launches a voice call (with additional video or screen sharing functionality).

   1. In the Search field, enter the first letters of the name or item you are looking for, and select a result from the selector list. The more letters you type, the more accurate the search result will be. On the web client, iOS mobile client and Desktop App you can use the Filter by categories to narrow and refine your search. You can filter by: All, Conversations, Sent by, People, Members, and Files.
