Where to find it

Contact chat → phone icon at the top

The phone at the top starts a call. The microphone and camera beside the message field are for recorded messages. The contact needs a reachable client supporting compatible calls.

What to do

Open the correct contact chat. Select the phone and choose the offered audio or video call.
Accept or reject an incoming call. The conversation starts after acceptance.
Mute or unmute the microphone in the call window. The camera has its own on/off control.
Use the microphone and camera device selectors if you need another device. Video effects have a separate button.
End the call with the red hang-up button. Switching chats is not a substitute for hanging up.

What do the choices mean?

No picture

First check the local camera preview, camera cover and selected camera. A black camera image can stay black even when transmission works.

No sound / echo

Check mute, volume and selected devices. Headphones prevent speaker output feeding back into the microphone.

Connection details and encryption

Call-window indicators refer to this call. A green message-encryption indicator alone is not proof for every media path.

Dialpad (DTMF)

For a destination with a telephone menu, the dialpad can send digits, such as choosing a hotline option. This requires a suitable telephony service and does not automatically give DinoX access to the telephone network.
