How do I join a call?
Join from an incoming notification, or open the same conversation and tap the call button.
Updated 2026-08-13
When someone starts a call in a conversation you're in, you can accept the incoming notification or open that conversation and tap the call button to join the same room.
Join from an incoming notification
- When a teammate starts a call, FabricLoop notifies everyone in that conversation.
- On the notification, tap Accept (or Answer) to join, or Decline to skip it.
- After you accept, the in-call screen opens with mute, camera, and leave controls.
iOS only: On iPhone, the incoming notification can be the system phone UI — see why FabricLoop calls ring like a phone call. On web and desktop, an incoming-call card appears with Accept and Decline.
Join from the conversation
- Open the same direct message the call was started from.
- Tap the call button in the conversation header (phone for audio, camera for video).
- FabricLoop connects you to the room that's already in progress.
If you're already on that call, the header call buttons hide so you don't start a second one. A compact call indicator lets you return to the call or hang up.
Tips
- There's no separate meeting link to paste — the call is the conversation it started in.
- If you miss the ring, opening the DM and tapping the call button is the same join path.
- Allow microphone and camera access before you join, or you'll connect without audio or video.
