Video calls - How it works

Entering the waitlist

Any authenticated user can join the waitlist by selecting:

  • Category: Socializing or Skill-sharing

  • Duration: Up to 25 minutes

  • Skills: For skill-sharing: 1-3 skills from their profile

Terminology
  • Host: User in the waitlist waiting for connections

  • Guest: User who sends a connection request

Waitlist timing
  • Host has 15 minutes to accept a connection request

  • Requests are displayed one at a time, in order received

  • Quick accept/reject is recommended

Starting the call
  • After accepting a request, both users are redirected to the call page

  • Host has 5 minutes to start the call

  • Maximum duration of a call: 25 minutes

  • Messages sent during the call are deleted immediately after it ends

Call photos

During calls, the platform can automatically capture a photo to help you remember your conversations:

  • Timing: A single photo is captured exactly at the 25th second of each call (not every 25 seconds) - inspired by our platform name "Hola25"

  • Countdown: You'll see a 5-second countdown starting at second 20, giving you time to prepare

  • Photo types: Self-only photos (just you) are available to all users. Combined photos (both participants) are a premium feature - only premium users can save combined photos when their partner allows photo sharing.

  • Privacy control: You can disable call photos or control photo sharing in Settings > Media preferences

  • Requirements: Your video must be on at second 25 for a photo to be captured

  • Viewing: Photos are available in your Call History
