| 5 Libervia's Kivy desktop application offers a one-to-one audio and video call feature. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to utilizing this functionality. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Accessing the Call Feature | |
| 8 -------------------------- | |
| 9 | |
| 10 1. Navigate to the main menu. | |
| 11 2. Look for the widget with a phone icon and select it to access the "Call" feature. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Initiating a Call | |
| 14 ----------------- | |
| 15 | |
| 16 When you're in the "Call" widget: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 1. You will notice a search bar located at the top. | |
| 19 2. To make a call: | |
| 20 | |
| 21 a. Type the full address (similar to an email address) of the person you wish to call into the search bar. | |
| 22 b. Click the "Call" button situated next to the search bar to initiate the call. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 *Note:* As development progresses, the interface may provide more intuitive ways to initiate calls. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 Receiving a Call | |
| 27 ---------------- | |
| 28 | |
| 29 *For the time being, ensure you are in the "Call" widget to receive an incoming call. This will change in upcoming versions.* | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Upon receiving a call: | |
| 32 | |
| 33 1. The call is automatically accepted. | |
| 34 2. If it's a video call, you will see the video of the person calling. Additionally, a smaller video feed in the bottom right corner shows what you are transmitting. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 During a Call | |
| 37 ------------- | |
| 38 | |
| 39 While you are on a call: | |
| 40 | |
| 41 1. **End Call:** To conclude the call, you can click the "Hang Up" button | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Security and Privacy Aspects of Calls | |
| 44 ------------------------------------- | |
| 45 | |
| 46 It's crucial to stay aware of what information you share and prioritize your privacy: | |
| 47 | |
| 48 **1. Sharing Your "Online Presence" and Address:** | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Engaging in a call shares your unique online address (akin to a phone number), indicating you're online and active. It's like turning the lights on at home, letting others know you're present. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 **2. Privacy Implications:** | |
| 53 | |
| 54 Although it's common to share this information with trusted contacts, unfamiliar users may infer your activity patterns and general vicinity. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 **3. Safety Recommendations:** | |
| 57 | |
| 58 - **Be Selective:** Make or accept calls only with those you trust. | |
| 59 - **Network Usage:** Though designed to function anywhere, remember that public networks (like those in coffee shops or hotels) might be less secure. | |
| 60 - **Stay Informed:** For any queries or concerns, join our community chat room. You can find it at the provided link on our website. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 Remember to stay vigilant and make informed decisions while using the call feature. Regularly check for updates, as we continually work to enhance your experience. |
