You can make audio/video calls (WebRTC - calls made via the Internet) to all your Rainbow contacts. To take full advantage of these functionalities, all you need is a microphone and a Webcam. Additionally, the screen sharing options are presented in a dedicated article.

Go to the left panel "My conversations" to select a conversation with a Rainbow user or find the desired person in your "Contacts."
Click on the blue icon "Make a call to this contact."
Choose between video or audio call; your contact is being called.
When your contact answers your call, a message "Connection in progress" appears in the middle of your contact banner.
A series of icons is then available under your contact's avatar such as "Add video media," "Share your screen," "Turn off your microphone," and "Hang up." The list of all the options available is displayed at the bottom of this article.
