CoWork CallsInactive

The following information is derived from the plugin description.

Make voice and video calls in any CoWork channel.

CoWork calls makes it quick and easy to start and join voice calls. Conferencing and simple screensharing capabilities are available in every channel, including direct messaging channels.

In i-net CoWork, multiple screens and/or windows can be shared simultaneously - even from separate devices without additional voice calls. Furthermore, a user can participate in a conference with multiple clients at the same time.

Raising a hand to gain awareness in a call as well as emoji reactions complete the overall package.

Video and voice Calls, as well as screenshares, are available in all clients that use a modern browser and access i-net CoWork via a valid HTTPS connection. The browsers establish a secure connection among themselves for the transmission of voice and video signals.

Changelog Information

  • The connections for voice and video calls have been switched from a peer network to centralized control by the CoWork server. This allows multiple participants in a call with lower bandwidth utilization of the clients.
    • Attention: The ports and the public NAT address can be configured in the configuration so that calls can be made via the server. Please adjust the settings in the firewalls if necessary.
  • The resolution and frame rate of the webcam and shared screens can be changed in the settings.
  • Update Bouncy Castle encryption library to FIPS-certified edition. FIPS certification ensures cryptographic modules meet rigorous security standards, enhancing security and trust.
  • The area of an active call can be opened in a new window if this function is supported by the browser. This window can be freely positioned and resized.
  • During a call, the own participant and those with a video (camera or screen sharing) have a context menu (to be called up with the right mouse button) to control actions. This applies, for example, to switching the camera or microphone on and off. For participants with a video stream, this can be pulled out as an overlay in supported browsers. This overlay can be freely positioned and resized.
  • In the user settings, it can be enabled that the own status displays a phone icon on the user's avatar when the user is involved in a call in any channel.
  • In the configuration you can set whether the audio and video connections are allowed to go through the public client connections or only through configured TURN servers.
