When someone calls you, a full-screen incoming call screen appears with their name, username and picture. A ringtone plays and repeats until you respond.
Answering or declining
- Green button: accept the call.
- Red button: decline it. The caller is told right away, and you are not connected.
If nobody responds, the call stops ringing for the caller after 45 seconds and is marked as missed.
{{callout:blue:Info}} If you are already on a call when a second one comes in, the new call is not put on hold. It is automatically marked as missed for the caller, so they can try again once you are free.
During the call
The call screen shows Calling..., then Connecting..., and once you are through, a timer. It has three controls:
- Speaker (top right): tries to switch the audio output to your device speaker. Support depends on your browser and device, and on most phones the call already plays through the main speaker. It is most useful for moving sound away from a connected Bluetooth headset.
- Mute (top right): stops the other person from hearing you. Tap it again to unmute.
- End call (bottom centre): hangs up for both of you.
Minimizing a call
Tap the down arrow in the top-left corner to minimize. The call keeps running, and a small circle with the other person's picture floats over the app. You can drag it anywhere on the screen, and use Chillverse as normal while you talk. Tap the circle to bring the full call screen back.
{{callout:gold:AlertTriangle}} The floating circle only returns you to the call. To hang up, open the full call screen first and tap End call.
What shows up in the chat
Every call leaves a short entry in your conversation, so you can see what happened:
- Voice call, with its length, when a call connected and then ended.
- Missed call, when it went unanswered or you were busy.
- Declined call, when the call was declined.
- Call canceled, when the caller hung up before you answered.
