🛡️ Make secure audio and video calls
Secure audio and video calls
You can make secure audio and video calls with crystal-clear sound and the same cryptographic security as with your messages and attachments. Everything is beautifully end-to-end encrypted between your device and those of your correspondents.
- Allowing access to the microphone and camera is required by the OS (operating system) of your device. This is necessary to make secure audio and video calls. It will also be necessary to record and send voice or video messages.
Secure group audio calls
The crystal clear sound and security of Olvid’s encrypted phone calls, but with more than one user.
You can call all members of a group by tapping the 📞 phone at the top right of the group’s chat.
The initiator of a multi-party call (and them alone) can add participants to an ongoing call by pressing the + button.
There is no limit to the number of participants, but each participant must maintain a connection with each of the other participants. So unless everyone has a very stable connection, it’s difficult to have a quality call with more than 10 people. With 4 or 5, it works just fine!
Secure three-way video calls
You can call up to two contacts on a video call.
Free uses
-
Receiving Secure audio and video calls is free for everyone and forever, with no limits on duration, quantity, or geographical areas. Olvid works worldwide.
-
Initiating Secure audio and video calls is free for all during a one month trial which is easily activated from the Profile/ID Settings. This activation does not entail any billing or automatic subscription and stops de facto at its expiration.
Obtain one or more licenses
-
Beyond the free trial period which ends automatically and without any billing or automatic subscription, the sending of Secure audio and video calls is subject to the acquisition of a license per user, always without any limit of duration, quantity, or geographical zones.
-
You can acquire licenses in three ways:
-
directly in the application through an in-app purchase, with your device’s store. This monthly subscription will always be managed by this store and only by this store. We have no knowledge of your purchases, nor any power over them. You manage everything through these stores, and your accounts with them. Any license activated after an in-app purchase is available for all your profiles and devices connected to the account you used on the store for that purchase.
-
directly with us, from 10 licenses and with a billing address. Here’s how the Business and Enterprise Offers work.
-
If you wish to acquire and distribute several licenses directly, please consult our pricing and make an appointment with our sales team.
