Communicator Go 6.7
Meeting integration
- The Meeting app provides an option to meet with multiple users simultaneously while offering the following:
- Video Conferencing (in a grid and speaker view)
- Audio Conferencing
- Screen Sharing (specific application or whole screen sharing)
- Remote Control when screen sharing
- Group chat
The meeting management within the Communicator GO app allows users to create an instant meeting, schedule a new or join an existing meeting. To access the meeting screen, the user should press the Meetings icon within the navigation bar.
When a meeting is started, the Communicator GO app redirects the user to the Meeting GO app. For every meeting invitation, the user will receive a notification. If the meeting is disabled on the license, all meeting-related screens will be disabled.
The user can also start/join/schedule a meeting from the dashboard or start a meeting from the chat conversation. It is possible to change meeting integration options by pressing the meeting screen in the settings. Users can enable/disable sending of the meeting link as a chat message if a meeting is started from the chat screen.
Shared groups
Users now have the option to create a shared group in which all group history will be visible for newly added participants.
When creating a new chat group, the user can set the group name, as well as history visibility. Every chat participant who is later added to that chat group will have access to all the chat history since the Shared group was created. Group chat info will indicate that the chat history is visible for all new participants.
Take pictures and videos with a camera inside the chat conversation
In addition to sending media files from the gallery, there is an option to take a photo or record a video inside the chat conversation screen to give users a better chat experience. By pressing a + button, the user has the option to click on the camera button that opens a camera screen to take a photo or record a video. After taking a photo or recording a video, the user can choose whether to save the file to the gallery, discard it or send it in the chat.
Send more than one file at once
When pressing the gallery or file explorer button, a window will appear where the user can select multiple images or files. A button in the bottom right corner will allow the user to confirm the current selection. There is also a counter that shows how many files have been selected. After pressing the button, the user will return to the chat screen, and there will be a file counter above the type text field where the user can preview the selected images or files.
Mention users in chat using @Name
Mention is a great way to get someone’s attention in a group chat conversation. Only group participants can be mentioned in a message. When mentioned, the user will receive a push notification which will override any mute action that the user has set for the group. Mentions start with the @ symbol followed by a name. When the @ character is typed in the input field, a suggestion list of participants will appear. The mention feature brings support for smart auto-completion based on user input.
Chat media preview screen
Users can now preview images and videos inside the Communicator GO app by pressing the media thumbnail on the chat screen.
Video preview screen
When the user presses on the video thumbnail inside the chat screen, the Communicator GO app opens a new screen where the user can:
- Preview video with full playback controls (play/pause/seek)
- Mute and unmute audio by pressing on the speaker icon
- Share images via an external app by pressing the share button
- Forward the image to another chat inside the Communicator GO app by pressing the forward button
- Delete the message by pressing on delete button inside a drop-down menu
- View the sender’s name

The chat list presence status provides information about the availability of other users. It is displayed with the corresponding icon in the bottom right corner of the user’s avatar.
Support for contact sharing from other apps
Users can share contact details from a phonebook or any other application to Communicator GO.
Predictive dialer dataset selector in settings
In Communicator GO 6.7, there is a new feature – Dialer Contacts sources. Users will have the option to enable or disable search for extensions, central phonebook contacts, and phone local phonebook contacts. If all sources are turned off, the predictive dialer will not perform any search.
Send email from the predictive dialer, recent list & recent info screens
Communicator GO now offers several new ways to send emails from the predictive dialer, recent list, and recent info screen:
- Long press on contact in the predictive dialer
- Long press on contact in the recent calls list
- Pressing on the email button in the recent info screen
For contacts that have no email address provided, these options won’t be displayed, and for the contacts that have multiple email addresses, the user will be presented with a list of emails available for this contact.
