The primary argument is the JID of the entity you wish to call. + +example +------- + +Pierre wants to call Louise:: + + $ li call make louise@example.org + +receive +======= + +Receive a call. By default, you'll see a confirmation prompt when someone is calling; you +can then use ``y`` to accept the call or ``n`` to reject it. Use the ``-a JID, +--auto-accept JID`` option to automatically accept calls from a specific entity (can be +used multiple times), or the ``--auto-accept-all`` to accept any incoming call. + +.. note:: + + Accepting a call automatically activates your webcam and microphone, and shares your IP + address with the caller. Therefore, using ``--auto-accept-all`` is a security risk. Only + use it if you have a very good reason to do so. + + +examples +-------- + +Louise is expecting a call. When she receives one, a prompt will ask her to confirm and +start it:: + + $ li call receive + +Piotr has a device with a webcam and microphone for observing wildlife. He set the device +to automatically accept his calls:: + + $ li call receive -a piotr@example.net + +.. note:: + + Libervia CLI will exit once the first accepted call is terminated. Looping in a shell + may be necessary to call the same device multiple times. + +.. note:: + + Since using auto-accept mode activates the webcam and microphone, consider the privacy + implications and ensure that no one will be filmed or recorded without their consent.
