By default, contacts are displayed individually in alphabetical order, but you can enable group display in the settings.

# Avatars

If there is no avatar set for a contact, you will see one of the following default avatars in the address book depending on the type of connection:

/docs/client-ios/media/gui/avatar_types/rtsp/en.png — RTSP camera

/docs/client-ios/media/gui/avatar_types/phone/en.png — phone

/docs/client-ios/media/gui/avatar_types/sip_h323/en.png — SIP/H.323.

# How to add a new contact

There are several types of contacts that can be added using the call string:

  • A user of TrueConf Server can act as a participant (use the call string format <TrueConf_ID>@<server> for this). A user from another server, with which a special type of connection called "federation" is configured, can also act as a participant.

  • If you have a link to the conference page, you can join by pasting this link into the search bar, for example, in the format \c\<CID>. You can also save the same link in the address book for quick access to a permanent virtual room.

  • SIP devices (the format #sip:<user_id>@<server_name> can be used for adding);

  • H.323 devices (example format #h323:@<IP>);

  • RTSP devices (example of an RTSP address: rtsp://192.168.1.100/axis-media/media.amp);

  • email users (in this case, it is necessary to specify a call string with the #mailto: prefix in the address book, for example, #mailto:user123@example.com). Available only for public conferences.

To add a user to the address book, find the contact as described above and press the /docs/client-ios/media/gui/add_contact/en.png button.

Please note that you don’t have to add users manually. Instead, your TrueConf Server administrator can organize your address book and set up user group display automatically.

# How to block or delete a contact

If you want to prevent a user from calling and sending messages to you, proceed to the user profile and tap Ban.

To quickly remove a user from the address book, just swipe left the user's name in the address book.

Alternatively, you can go to the user profile and tap the More → Delete contact button.

# Global user list

Open your address book and tap the /docs/client-ios/media/gui/catalog/en.png button to view the users of other TrueConf Server instances federated with your server.

This menu option may be unavailable if integration with TrueConf Directory has not been configured on the server.
