Realtime lets your team open video meeting rooms right from the dashboard. Use it for a quick internal call, or to keep track of calls started with customers from Messages. Each room has its own invite link that expires automatically.

Admins and Staff can create, join, rename and delete rooms. Only admins can change the workspace's room limits.
