How do video calls work on Reedsy?

How do video calls work on Reedsy?

Freelancers can schedule calls directly from their Reedsy inbox at any point during the collaboration. Authors will receive an invitation once their professional sets up the call.

Once accepted, both parties receive a confirmation email with call details and an option to add it to their calendar.

Calls take place through Zoomβ€”making them free and unlimited.

Who can schedule a call?

Only professionals can schedule video calls.

If you’re an author, discuss a time with your professional, and they’ll send you an invite.

Where can I find my scheduled calls?

You can view, manage, or cancel your scheduled calls directly from your Reedsy inbox.

Do I need to install any software?

Yes! It’s best to install the Zoom software to join calls with full functionality.

What should I do after the call?

Nothing! We’ll email you a copy of the transcript, and you can find your transcript and a summary of the call on your project dashboard. This ensures everything stays documented in one place.

Here's a short video to see how it works.
