How to schedule a Blinder video call

Written by Sinéad Huggins

From your dashboard

  • Click the 'Schedule a call' button on your dashboard and choose 'Video call'.

  • Add your contact's details by searching your existing contacts or clicking 'New Participant'.

  • As you type into the search bar your list of contacts will appear.

  • If you are hosting the call click the 'Add me' button instead of choosing yourself from your contact list. This gives your full host functionality.

  • You can also add yourself as 'Producer' but you will join the call via audio-only and won't be recorded.

Note: If you have multi-party on your account you can add 3 participants and 1 host, or 4 participants and 1 producer.

  • Once you have chosen your participants you can choose the type of notifications you would like them to receive. It can be by text, email or both.

  • Set the 'Date' and 'Start time' for the video call (you only need to adjust the time on one of the participants as the system will auto calculate the other for you).

  • Add notes for your participants if required (these notes are private to each party).

  • Set your 'Call Window' (this is the time available for the participant to join the call once the start time commences)

  • Set the features for the call, ie 'Record' and 'Share', (you may not have all of these features on your account)

  • Click the 'Schedule the call' button once you have set up your call.

Note: You can change any of your participants' details while you are scheduling a video call, but the changes will affect that call only.

The next screen you will see is a preview of your video call details. You can still make any last-minute changes from here by clicking the 'Back' button to take you back to the edit screen. Or if you are happy with all the details, click the 'Schedule Now' button.

Communications are then sent by text and email to the recipient, caller and yourself.
