Live video/voice messaging is available in every Upwork Messages chat room. It also supports screen sharing while in a video session on the web.

To start a video/voice conversation

1. Click the phone icon at the top right of the room.
2. This creates and posts a link accessible to everyone in the room. Click on the link to join the call.

Joining a call opens a browser window where you can see the shared video and control your video/voice settings.

Video/voice calls are supported on the latest versions of

To provide feedback on the video/voice messaging feature, click on leave feedback in the top left of the video screen while on a call.

Current limitations

• Only users who are part of the room can join the call. To create a group call, you will need to create a group chat room first.
• Calls are available only on the web interface and desktop app. Mobile web and app are not supported at this time.
• Only 10 users can join the call. We plan to support larger group calls in the future.
