Start a video call

If you are working remotely or on the go, SquadPod's video calls are perfect for talking to your squad members.  Here are a few things to know about our video calls:

• Give your browser access to your camera and microphone so other call participants can hear and see you.
• The free plan allows up to 4 participants and video calls that last 20 minutes.  Upgrade to a paid subscription to include additional participants and have longer call times.  
• Use the video call shortcuts in chats and discussions to quickly start calls with the people in those conversations.
