# Getting started
# Home page
On the home page you can find the address of your Android TV box. You can share it with your contacts to start communication. To do this, you can use your smartphone or tablet’s camera to scan the QR code on your home page and forward the link to your friends or colleagues.
Your webcam video is used as a TrueConf application background, which enables you to check on how you look on a video call beforehand. You can enter full-screen mode by pressing OK or using the Right Arrow button on your remote control. To exit full-screen mode, press the Left Arrow or the Back button.
On the left, you can find the main menu where you can:
# Address book
In the address book, you’ll see your contact list if you have filled it beforehand:
Your TrueConf Server administrator could also fill the address book for you in the TrueConf Server control panel.
# User statuses
Every user in the address book will be displayed with one of the following statuses:
— Online
— online from a smartphone or tablet
— online from a hardware or software SIP/H.323 endpoint
— recent activity: this network status is given to a user who previously signed into the mobile application, but is currently offline.
— the Owner of an ongoing conference
— Busy (in a video call or conference)
— Away (away from keyboard for a certain time period, 15 minutes by default)
— Do not disturb (the status is set manually in the user profile, for example, in TrueConf for Android client application)
— Offline
— Unknown (e.g., an account does not exist or is created on an external server which if not federated with your server instance. This status may also be assigned to an existing user on the same server which has not been yet added to the address book).
