How to send instant Text Video Conversation links to customers.
Step 1: Login into your LiveSwitch Contact Dashboard
Once you've set up your account, the option to send a customer a video link will be available on the Home of your Dashboard. Click NEW MEETING to get started.
Step 2: Send your link
Enter the customer's phone number and click START to send the video link then JOIN to connect. You also have the option to enter the customers name and change the default message that is sent with the link. The call will instantly start in a new tab.
Step 3: Start the call
Your video chat begins as soon as your customer joins. Your video tile will be displayed in the lower right corner of your device, and once your customer joins the call they will be full-screen.
What your customer sees
When you send your NEW MEETING text link, your customer is immediately notified with a text message that will look like this. You can easily customize the message using the notification template.
Once your customer clicks the link they will be prompted to join your video call by accessing their microphone and camera. Make sure to tell them to click ALLOW.
After the customer clicks 'Allow' they will enter the call with you, and voila, you are good to go. It's that easy.
