Overview
Video Calls is your team's deal-scoped meeting room inside SalesHive. Start or schedule calls, join with a code, add your deal's AI Rep, record and review meetings, and manage devices, screen sharing, chat, transcripts, and a floating camera overlay from the browser.
How to use this page
Start, join, or schedule a call
Start a call now, join with a code, or schedule a title and time for later. Scheduled links can be recurring and remain available until an authorized user ends or cancels them. The lobby is scoped to your deal, and My meetings or All narrows the lists.
Check the green room
Before you enter, choose your microphone and camera and set None, Light blur, Strong blur, or an available backdrop. The recording consent line appears before joining. Your microphone starts on and camera starts off by default.
Use the in-call controls
Use Mic, Start video, Share, Chat, Transcript, People, Background, Music, and Settings while connected. The live transcript is speaker-labeled, and Settings can switch devices, control noise cancellation, change camera framing, and keep everyone in grid during a screen share.
Add your AI Rep
Select AI Rep in an active call. Choose Join this meeting for live assistance, or Start a training session so the rep interviews you about your business and remembers what you teach it for future calls. The rep uses the centrally managed conversation, response, voice, and speaking-pace defaults. Select Dismiss AI to remove it.
Keep cameras visible while sharing
In Chrome or Edge, open Settings and select Open floating camera overlay. Use Mute or Unmute in that always-on-top window to change your microphone without returning to the main call. Safari and Firefox hide these controls.
Record and read transcripts
Calls record by default. While recording is active, a compact Recording indicator appears in the call header beside Fullscreen without covering participant video. Everyone still receives the one-time visible and spoken notice when recording begins. Finished recordings appear in the lobby, with Watch and Transcript when available.
