How to communicate with other residents using K4Community Plus

In K4Community Plus you can communicate with other residents who have not opted out of the directory via video call or text chat. 

 

First, you'll need to locate the Directory page:

On mobile, tap MoreDirectory and select the resident you want to communicate with.

 

On web, click Directory and select the resident you want to communicate with.

Video Calls

Making a video call will require allowing K4Community Plus access to the camera and microphone of your device. The process to allow this access varies by device, but generally speaking, the controls will be located under SettingsPrivacy

If you haven't previously allowed access, once you tap on the video call icon, your device will prompt you to allow access to the camera and microphone. Once access has been granted, you can modify those settings under SettingsPrivacy


  • Tap the video camera icon
  • The call will automatically launch and begin ringing the friend's K4Community app on their phone or computer.
  • You'll see your friend's image in full screen and your image (what your friend is seeing) in the bottom right corner

 

Controls

  • Tap the microphone icon to mute or unmute your microphone
  • Tap the video camera icon to turn your camera on or off
  • Tap the camera with the circle arrows to change between the front-facing (the caller can see what you're looking) and rear-facing (the caller can see your face) cameras
  • Tap Hangup to end the call

Sending a text chat message

  • Tap the chat bubble icon. The chat history for that contact will appear on screen.
