Presently, video calls are available for Chrome 29 and in FireFox 27 or higher. Moreover, you can make calls right from your Desktop App. If the above-mentioned does not solve your problem please contact our Help Desk. Thank you! Yana.

Yana Prokopets Administrator Posts: 4246 Joined: 09/20/2013	#4 02/28/2014 11:09:02 Hi Adam, To start a video chat please open your web messanger or desktop app (right bottom corner of your portal) and invite users to chat: After that open the group chat you've just created and click on the green video button: Please note that video calls support conference calling for up to 4 participants at the present time. Kind Regards, Yana.

Please try to switch off your Desktop on the other PCs and run it on the current one (from which you will make a call). I would really appreciate your feedback if the solution helped. Thank you! Yana.

Hi Yana

yes now downloaded from website - just to clarify the video chat requires the computers to have the desktop app downloaded and active and obviously video camera and sound.

Also found that you have to reboot pc after installing desktop app in order to get it working

Is the video chat chargeable like the IP calls? Does it use the IP credit?

Thanks
