Group calls at a glance

  • Up to 50 people, or 120 when a Premium member starts the call
  • Voice only — no video calling
  • Join from the group, from the ringing screen, or with a call link: muslimchat.online/c/…
  • Admins can text the members who haven't joined yet, with the link
  • Group admins ⚡ can mute, mute all, ask all to unmute, remove people, lock and end the call
  • Ask to speak with 🎙️, chat and react during the call
  • HD+ Voice; call recording for Premium members

Start and join

Open any group and tap the call button. Members' phones ring, and anyone who misses the ring sees a Join bar at the top of the group. Each call also has a short link — muslimchat.online/c/… — that you can share; it opens the call in Muslim Chat while the call is on.

Admins can tap More → Text the people who have not joined. From the Android app Muslim Chat sends each of them an SMS — "Rafiq, you didn't join the Madrasa Teachers group call yet. Join now:" followed by the link — and elsewhere it sends them a Muslim Chat message. Ring everyone who has not joined rings their phones again.

Order in big calls

The group's admins — ⚡ in the call — can mute someone, Mute all, Ask all to unmute, decide whether people may unmute themselves, remove someone from the call, lock the call so no one new can join, or end it for everyone. Participants can tap 🎙️ Speak to ask to talk, chat in the call, and react.

Each tile shows who is talking with a moving wave. Switch between the grid and the speaker view, and minimise the call to keep using your chats.

Everyone hears everyone

In a group call every phone sends its voice once to the Muslim Chat server, which passes it on to everyone else. That is the same for 3 people or 100, so nobody becomes inaudible to some people because of their network. Silence is never sent, so only the people talking use upload data. Calls use Muslim Chat's HD+ Voice.
