Group video and audio calls with screen sharing, recording, in-call chat, and guest invite links. Powered by LiveKit for low-latency communication. Features include: video grid layout, mic/camera toggling, screen sharing, call recording (start/stop), in-call chat panel, guest links for external participants, duration timer, and incoming call overlay notifications. Starting a new call checks the organization's usage budget and an admin-configurable limit on how many calls can be active at once; if either is reached, starting a new call is blocked with an explanation of what paused, while any call already in progress is never interrupted. Joining an existing call and refreshing your token during a call are unaffected by the budget check.
How to use
- Start a group call from the sidebar or from within a Spun Chat conversation.
- Invite participants or share the guest link.
- Use the toolbar to toggle mic, camera, screen share, and recording.
- Open the chat panel to send messages during the call.
- Click "End Call" when finished. If starting a call is blocked, it means the organization's usage budget or its simultaneous-call limit has been reached - an admin can resolve this from billing/usage settings; calls already underway are not affected.
