Dialpad offers video call options through Dialpad Meetings or the Dialpad app for one-on-one calls. To start a video call, navigate to a conversation thread and select the More Menu beside the Video icon. Choose to place the call via Dialpad Meetings or Dialpad. To receive a video call, select Answer when receiving the notification. Video call controls include Mute/Unmute, Video On/Off, Screen Share, Full Screen, Pause, and Hang Up. Video calling within the Dialpad app is available for Dialpad users calling others within the same company. External contacts require the Dialpad Meetings app for video conferencing.
Sometimes a little face-to-face makes all the difference.
Dialpad and Dialpad Meetings are fully integrated for videoconferencing, but you can also use the Dialpad app to launch quick, one-on-one video calls.
Let's take a look at video calls in Dialpad.

Why don't I see the video call icon beside every contact?
Video calling from within the Dialpad app is available for Dialpad users calling other Dialpad users within their company. If your contact is an external (non-Dialpad) contact, you'll need to use the Dialpad Meetings app to video conference with them.
