Adding a Contact

Enter the user TrueConf ID in the search field and click the /docs/client-classic/media/add_button/en.png button.

Similarly, you can add third-party SIP/H.323 and RTSP devices to the address book by specifying the call string in the appropriate format instead of the user ID.

After that, you can create a new group with it or add it to an existing one:

So that you don't have to add users manually, the administrator of your TrueConf server can automatically generate an address book and configure the display of groups within it.

User search

Enter the beginning of the TrueConf ID or name of the user you are looking for in the search field located above the address book. The application will filter the list according to the entered text, making it easier for you to find the user.
