Sometimes a video conference is the most efficient way to collaborate. Quickly start a video call inside Missive whether your working from home, the airport, or at the office.
Missive Video Chat is the best way to meet face-to-face with coworkers. It offers you these wonderful features:
Missive Video Chat works on top of Twilio’s Programmable Video. To use Missive Video Chat, you first need to sign up for a Twilio account.
The advantage of using your own Twilio account is you only pay for your metered usage. Pricing starts at $0.0015 per minute for Peer-to-Peer rooms and $0.004 per minute for Group rooms.
You only need one Twilio account. You can share the integration with all your team.
The chat room stays accessible when you jump on a call. Use it as a space to send attachments, links, or send a summary of the meeting once it's over.
The video will remain open in Missive's fourth column. This gives you the freedom to keep using the app's other features.
It's particularly handy when mid-call you want to cross-reference information from a past email, tasks, or other conversations. Need to shoot a quick email during the call? No problem.
Have a quick call with a coworker inside a one-on-one private room.
Have a group call with up to 50 participants of a particular team or organization. If you have a good Internet connection, the video quality will not decrease.
We all have been in a crowded room where it's difficult to hear what others are saying. The same can happen in video conferences. That's why Missive's Video Chat offers you the ability to mute yourself or others. You can also disable the video of your camera.
When there are multiple participants in a call, it's easy to get lost in a grid of faces. With spotlight layout, the dominant speaker will always go to the top of the grid or you can manually pin them. The image will be bigger than the others, and you will see who has taken the stage.
To enable the Video Chat integration, first sign up to Twilio and copy the Account SID and Auth token available on your dashboard:
Once this is done, perform these few steps:
That’s it! To start video calls from Missive, open the fourth column and select the Video Chat integration.
