Starting or Joining Group Voice and Video Calls
You can start or join voice and video calls with your existing Groups, or start new Groups and initiate calls. When you initiate a call, other Group members can join at any time. Calls start and remain open until one or more of your colleagues join you, and are not canceled if no immediate response is received. When you start a call and when others join you, a chime sounds, and text notifications appear in the Zinc UI when others join or leave the call. You can also share and annotate your screen and live video feeds.
