<p>You can call your contacts and have an audio conversation with them.
This features only works with certain types of accounts, and it requires
the other person to have an application that supports audio calls.</p>

From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, click the
<media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/camera-web.png">video call</media>
icon next to the name of the contact you wish to call and
choose <gui style="menuitem">Audio Call</gui>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
A new window will open. When the connection is established, you will
see <gui>Connected</gui> at the bottom of the window, along with the
total conversation time.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
To end the conversation, click on <gui style="button">Hang up</gui>.
</p>

</steps>
<note style="tip">

To turn an audio conversation into a video conversation, choose
<guiseq><gui style="menu">Video</gui>
<gui style="menuitem">Video On</gui></guiseq>.
