# Talk, Chat, Calls, and Meetings

NuQloud Talk is for chat, audio calls, video calls, screen sharing, and team rooms.

## Start a Chat

1. Open Talk.
2. Search for a person or room.
3. Send a message.
4. Use attachments when you need to share files.

## Create a Room

1. Open Talk.
2. Create a new conversation.
3. Add users or groups.
4. Choose whether the room is private or link-accessible.
5. Name the room clearly.

## Calls and Meetings

In a room, use the call button to start an audio or video call.

Common meeting tools:

- Mute/unmute microphone.
- Enable/disable camera.
- Share screen.
- Send chat messages during the call.
- Invite participants.

## Mobile Talk App

Until NuQloud has its own branded mobile Talk app, use the compatible Talk mobile app.

Use it for:

- Chat notifications.
- Audio and video calls.
- Quick replies.
- Mobile meeting access.

## Desktop Notifications

The compatible desktop sync app and Talk app can help provide desktop notifications, depending on your operating system and browser permissions.

If notifications do not appear:

1. Check browser notification permissions.
2. Check operating system notification settings.
3. Check Talk app settings.
4. Make sure Do Not Disturb is disabled.

## Decentralized Talk Bridge

Some NuQloud deployments include a Talk bridge for selected decentralized group messages or announcements.

If enabled, your provider will tell you:

- Which rooms are bridged.
- Who can configure bridge mappings.
- Which messages are relayed.
