Environment / Applies To

  1. Essentials, Pro, and Enterprise Service Plans
  2. Relay Devices
  3. Dash
  4. Relay Pro App

Overview

  1. Relay calling creates a temporary private channel between two users for direct communication. Once in the channel, users can use the Talk button to send messages just like normal communications.
  2. When sending and receiving messages during a call, the LED's will turn green instead of blue
  3. When receiving a call, users will hear the caller's name followed by a beep, signaling the call has begun.
  4. After 10 seconds of inactivity from either user, both users in the call will hear a beep, signaling the call has automatically ended. Users will return to their previous channel.
    1. Please Note: We also offer 20 and 30 second call out options for calling, to learn how to configure a longer calling timeout, reference this article. 
  5. If a call is missed, Dash and App users will see a notification for a missed call.
