Talk & connect

Voice and video calls, straight from the conversation

Calls that start from the chat and connect on mobile data — one-to-one or up to eight people.

Some conversations are three messages away from being a two-minute call. On Asyncbit the call button is inside the chat, so switching costs nothing: no separate app and no meeting link. Calls are free, voice or video, one-to-one or in a group, in the browser or on the Android app.

Calls run on WebRTC. Where the network allows, the two ends connect directly; where it doesn't — some mobile networks, office Wi-Fi, strict firewalls — the call goes through a TURN relay server instead. That fallback is what lets calls connect on mobile data and restrictive networks rather than ringing forever.

Group calls take up to 8 people, and up to 4 of them can be on video; larger calls carry on as audio. That's a good fit for a study group, a family check-in or a club planning session, though it isn't a webinar tool. Every call leaves a line in the chat, such as “Missed audio call” or “Video call · 12:04”, and your call history keeps the list.

How voice & video calls works on Asyncbit

  1. 1

    Call from the chat

    Open a one-to-one or group chat and start a voice or video call. One-to-one chats need a mutual follow, so one-to-one calls do too.

  2. 2

    It finds a route

    WebRTC tries a direct connection first and falls back to a TURN relay when the network blocks it.

  3. 3

    Bring the group

    Up to 8 people can be in a group call, and up to 4 can be on video at once.

  4. 4

    Keep using your phone on Android

    On Android a call can shrink to picture-in-picture while you check something else.

  5. 5

    Look back later

    Call history and the summary lines in each chat show missed calls and how long calls lasted.

Voice & video calls questions

Do Asyncbit calls cost anything?
No. Voice and video calls are free, one-to-one and in groups. Your normal mobile data charges still apply.
How many people can join a group call?
Up to 8. Up to 4 people can be on video; larger calls continue as audio.
Do I need an app to make a call?
No. Calls work in the browser. The Android app adds picture-in-picture during calls.
What happens to video in a bigger group call?
Video works for up to 4 people. A call with more people than that carries on as audio, up to the limit of 8.
Can I call someone I don't follow?
Calls start from a chat, and one-to-one chats need a mutual follow, so you'll need to follow each other first. Group calls start from a group chat.
