Creating an account and adding users

Create an account with SquadPod using your email, Apple account, or Google account. Once you have created and verified your account, you are ready to set up your Squad and start adding members. You can invite members to your Squad through invite links, direct emails, or direct text messages. As the Squad admin, you can set up roles to determine the permissions of each member.  

Accepting an invite to SquadPod

Accept an invite to SquadPod by clicking on the Squad invite link shared with you by your Squad admin. Accepting the invite adds you to the squad. Now you can start chatting with your team from your office or on the go with your mobile device.  

Pods vs Chats

Chat replaces text messages with a single person or group. Use chats to send messages or share files quickly. Discussions are like emails but much more organized and topical. Create a Discussion to efficiently manage and categorize projects by keeping your conversations, files, and tasks organized in one place.

Roles and Permissions

Squad admins can assign each member a role within the entire Squad. The different role options are admin, user, viewer, and guest. In addition to having a Squad role, each member can have different roles assigned to them within specific discussions, chats, or videos. The roles determine the permissions that each member is given within the Squad, discussions, chats, and videos. 

Your First Pod

Create your first discussion and add Squad members to organize conversations so important information is not lost or difficult to find. As the admin, you can set each member’s role and manage the room settings. You can also share files, create and assign tasks, and participate in dynamic and organized conversations. Different features and capabilities are available depending upon the discussion member’s role.

Chat Tutorial

Communicate efficiently with an individual or a group with SquadPod chat. You can personalize your chat by setting a chat name, adding and managing members, and uploading an avatar. Once your chat is set up, members can stay connected on the go with instant messages, emojis, and file sharing. 

Video Calls

Connect face to face with team members instantly through SquadPod’s private and easy to use video calls. You can start a video call by clicking the video icon within the Squad or within a specific Pod or chat. Once the video call is set up, you can manage users and share screens all while having access to other features within the app.
