Contacts and Private Calls

Zed allows you to have private calls / collaboration sessions with those in your contacts. These calls can be one-on-ones or contain any number of users from your contacts.

Adding a Contact

1. In the collaboration panel, click the + button next to the Contacts section
2. Search for the contact using their GitHub handle.
   Note: Your contact must be an existing Zed user who has completed the GitHub authentication sign-in flow.
3. Your contact will receive a notification. Once they accept, you'll both appear in each other's contact list.

Private Calls

To start up a private call...

1. Click the ... menu next to an online contact's name in the collaboration panel.
2. Click Call <username>

Once you've begun a private call, you can add other online contacts by clicking on their name in the collaboration panel.

Aside from a few additional features (channel notes, etc.), collaboration in private calls is largely the same as it is in channels.
