Connect
Use Connect for team chat and video meetings inside Salestrics. Chat with colleagues in channels or direct messages, start instant or scheduled meetings, share Workspace presentations, and review recordings saved to Drive.
Connect is available on Team and higher paid plans (Solo and Free Forever do not include Connect). See Plans and limits.
Open Connect from the App Launcher, or use these areas:
| Area | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Chat | /connect/chat | Channels and direct messages |
| Meetings | /connect/meetings | Schedule and start video calls |
| Recordings | /connect/recordings | Browse saved meeting recordings |
| History | /connect/history | Past meetings you joined or hosted |
Chat with your team
Connect supports:
- Direct messages — private 1:1 chat
- Group channels — team rooms (for example
#sales,#support) - Meeting chat — side conversation during a live call
To send a message:
- Open Connect → Chat.
- Pick a person or channel.
- Type your message and press Enter.
On mobile, tap a channel to open the thread. Use the back control to return to the channel list.
Channel tips
- Name channels by team or topic so new hires know where to post.
- Use
@mentionswhen you need someone's attention (when your workspace enables them). - Pin important announcements at the top of busy channels.
Start a meeting
- Open Connect → Meetings.
- Click Start meeting (or schedule for later).
- Add a title and choose meeting type:
- Team-only — workspace members only
- Guest meeting — external participants via invite link (Scale and Enterprise on plans that allow guests)
- Share the join link or add attendees from Calendar.
You can also start a meeting from a direct message or attach a Connect meeting to a Workspace Calendar event.
Join a meeting
Teammates
Open the meeting from Connect → Meetings, your Calendar event, or a chat link.
Guests

Guest access requires a plan that allows external meetings and public links — see plan limits below.
During a meeting
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Camera / mic | Toggle video and audio |
| Background | Choose a virtual background |
| Screen share | Share your screen or a Workspace presentation |
| Participants | Host can admit, mute, or remove participants |

The host manages participants and can end the meeting for everyone.
Recordings and AI summaries
When recording is enabled:
- The recording saves to the host's Workspace Drive (uses Drive storage).
- Open Connect → Recordings or the meeting detail page to play it back.
- Sharing follows Drive permissions — confirm who can open the file before distributing.
After the meeting, Salestrics AI may generate a short summary on the meeting record. Open the meeting to read the summary and action items.
Search Connect → History to find meetings by title, date, or participants.
Plan limits
Limits apply per workspace based on your effective plan (including during a paid trial).

Fix common meeting problems
You cannot see Connect
Connect requires Team or a higher paid plan. Check Admin → Billing for your current plan.
The meeting is full
Active participants cannot exceed your plan's max participants. Ask someone to leave, or upgrade to a plan with a higher cap.
A guest cannot join
- Confirm your plan allows guest and public link meetings (Scale and Enterprise).
- Verify the host started a guest meeting, not team-only.
- Send a fresh invite link — old links may expire.
Camera or microphone does not work
- Allow browser permission for camera and microphone.
- Close other apps using the same devices.
- Refresh the page and rejoin.
- Try a different browser (Chrome and Edge work best).
You cannot find a recording
- Ask the host to check Workspace → Drive for the recording file.
- Confirm the host has free Drive space — see Plans and limits.
- Check meeting settings — recording may not have been started.
Meeting ended unexpectedly
Your plan may have hit the duration limit. Schedule a follow-up or upgrade for longer calls.
