Work together
Talk with the people in your file, call someone directly, mute, use push to talk and set your microphone and speaker.
Checked against uxdeck on 16 October 2026
Voice lets you talk with the people working in a file, right there in the browser. There is nothing to install and no meeting link: if someone else is in the file, you can talk.
Voice is on Pro, and in a team’s files whatever your plan. It needs an account, so guests cannot join.
Join voice
When someone else is in the file, a Voice button appears beside the faces in the top bar. If people are already talking, it reads Join. Press it, allow the microphone the first time, and you are in.
Call someone
Hover over a person’s face in the top bar and press Call {name}. They hear a ring and see a banner to accept. Once you are in voice, the card offers Invite to call instead. Someone ringing you from another file is asked to open that file and join.
While you are in a call
The in-call bar shows:
- Mute and Unmute, also ⇧⌘M (CtrlShiftM on Windows);
- Audio settings, to switch microphone;
- who is in the call and whether each person is Talking, Listening or Muted;
- leave, which asks before you go.
If you start talking while muted, uxdeck asks Are you trying to talk?
To make one person louder or quieter, or to turn them off just for you, hover their face and use the volume on their card.

Catches
- No Voice button? You need someone else in the file and a connection; guests do not get one. On a plan without voice the button shows a lock and explains which plans have it.

- Missed calls land in the bell.
