It's a video messaging application that's available for both Android and iOS. Developers, Joya Communications, describe the app as a video messaging app for people who are busy. It's for those who maybe either can't align their time with the people they're trying to keep in touch with to have a regular FaceTime or Skype call or live in a completely different time zone. Rather than have a live, real-time face-to-face conversation with the person you're talking to, you record your video message as part of a conversation, and the other person can either watch it live in real-time as you're recording, or watch it later, and then respond when they have the time.
What we love about this method of communicating is that it allows you to be completely spontaneous. You don't need to schedule a face-to-face, you can just shoot a video message and chat to the person when you have something to share and know they'll see it when they have a bit of free time themselves. When you first load the app, you type in your mobile number and this then becomes the way your friends and family find you.
If they have you in their phone contact lists, you'll show up as a contact in their list. It's similar in that regard to WhatsApp. You will need to allow the app to have access to your contacts, as well as your camera and microphone since it needs those things in order to work and keep you in touch with the people you care about. The home screen of the app is your chats. These are conversations you're having with people, plus there's a tab of 'suggested' chats, where the app shows you which of your friends are recently active.
To start a video chat, simply tap on a contact who has the app installed and you'll be taken to the video messaging screen, with a big blue 'Start' button on it. Tap that, and start recording your message. All messages between you and the other person will then appear in the section along the bottom of this chat screen, and you can back and re-watch and react to them whenever you like.
When you're watching a video message from a friend you can react to it in a few different ways. The easiest is similar to Twitter's Periscope function. Up the right side of the screen are a select number of emoji. Increase the volume slider on the home page or settings The app does not have permission to access your microphone 1. Tap Apps 3. Tap on Marco Polo V2 4. Tap on permissions 5. Remove your phone case that may be blocking the microphones 2. Place the phone on a surface facing you 3.
Try different variations of your trigger word e. Pronounce clearly, and try using an American accent 4. Adjust the Sensitivity slider on the home screen or settings 5. Try different tones of voice or making your voice deeper Following these steps should help your app respond to you. The App Responds to Random Sounds A loud environment can sometimes accidentally trigger the app to responsd. How can I adjust sensitivity? Adjust the Sensitivity slider on the home screen or settings. The lower the number the less false alarms there will be, but the app may respond to the trigger word less often Battery.
