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.

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.
