Incoming Calls

You can receive an incoming call with caller’s name information displayed while visiting any app menu section:

/docs/client-android-tv/media/incoming_call/en.png

In a similar way, you can be invited to a video conference:

To save memory, your device may unload TrueConf. However, as long as your internet connection is active, you will still be able to receive incoming calls and conference invitations even though your status will be set to recent activity in other users' address books.

To enable incoming app notifications in the above-mentioned situation, you need to have an Internet connection and Google services on your Android TV device.

  2. Go to their profile and click Call.

  3. To end the call, press the Back button on the remote control or the /docs/client-android-tv/media/gui/hang_up/en.png button in the call menu.

Call History

To view your call history, choose the corresponding item in the app menu:
