Call mode allows you to make a 1-on-1 video call with Pivo tracking you at the same time. With this mode, you can enjoy the following added benefits to your video call experience with Pivo:
- Video call hands free
- Four different tracking modes
- Easily invite anyone to your party
Call mode is designed to be used in the following situations:
- The host must have a Pivo Pod and a Pivo Account to sign into Pivo Cast (Pivo Meet)
- The guest can answer the call request with a smartphone, computer, or tablet
- The guest cannot answer with a smartphone connected to Pivo Pod as the Pivo Cast invitation link will open in a web link on your smartphone or web browser
Getting Started
- First, turn on your Pod and connect it to your smartphone through the Pivo Cast app. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on, and you have WiFi or data connection to use Pivo Meet
- Once you have paired your smartphone, sign into Pivo Cast using your Pivo Account information. This will be the same ID and Password you use to sign into any other Pivo apps
- After signing into your account, Pivo Cast will open in Call mode by default
