RingCentral App: Starting Video Meetings Through Team Conversations
Instant meetings are non-scheduled meetings you can start at any time with anyone at any time.
Learn the different methods you can use to initiate an instant meeting on the RingCentral app:
- Search for a user, group, or team, hover over the name, and click the Video camera icon.
- Navigate to a direct or group message or team conversation, and click the Video camera icon at top right of the conversation header bar.
- Navigate to the Contacts menu by selecting the camera icon besides the user’s name or in their profile.
Note: Hosts and participants are permitted to have two meetings running simultaneously in the RingCentral app desktop and web. This applies to instant meetings or scheduled meetings. If a participant or host tries to join a third meeting session, the first attended meeting will automatically disconnect.
