Find your way around

After you sign in, CheapMeet opens on Chat: your conversations on the left of the page and the open conversation beside them.

Press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac) to search people and chats from the top bar, or type what you want to do. See Search and actions.

The narrow bar on the left has an icon for each part of the app, with its name underneath:

• Activity: what happened while you were away, with a count of new items.
• Chat: your conversations, with an unread count and a blue @ when you were mentioned.
• Calendar: your meetings by day, week or month, with Meet now, New and joining with a link. Personal events and connected appointments also appear where the Personal calendar preview is available. See Calendar. While you are in a call, Calendar takes you back to the call.
• Calls: recent calls with Call back, your call History, voicemail, and your number and dial pad if you have a CheapMeet number. It shows a count of new voicemail.
• People: your contacts.
• Settings at the bottom: your own account settings, or Workspace settings for owners and admins, with a count when moderation reports are waiting.

People opens your Contacts: an address book with All, Favourites, Colleagues and My contacts. Select someone to open their contact card, with Call {name} in CheapMeet, Chat, Meet and their details. Calls from favorites still ring during quiet hours.

• Choose Add contact to add colleagues from the workspace, or to invite someone by email if your role allows it.
• Choose New contact for someone who isn't in CheapMeet.

Select the workspace name in the top-left corner to list your workspaces, then pick one. You land on its Chat. Create workspace appears there while your account can still create one.

Activity lists mentions, replies and reactions to your messages, missed calls, voicemails, meeting invitations, reminders for meetings, your own events and messages, "meeting started" alerts, and notices such as moderation alerts, newest first. Filter with All, Unread, Mentions or Calls, and choose Mark all read to clear the count. Selecting an item opens exactly what it is about, highlighted: a message in its conversation beside the list, a missed call or voicemail on Calls, a meeting or event on Calendar. Items are kept for 90 days. See Activity.

Before a scheduled meeting (10 minutes before, unless you organized it and chose another reminder), a reminder card appears with Join meeting. When the meeting starts, it changes to "{title} is starting" with a short chime. See Notifications and status.

Select your picture in the top-right corner for your name and email, Status and Duration, Reset status, Set status message, links to Profile, Audio & video and Notifications, Switch workspace, Appearance, Help center, Keyboard shortcuts and Sign out.
