This guide walks you through a fast, step-by-step installation and configuration process that should take about 10 minutes for a typical user. Before starting, make sure you have your account details and device(s) ready.
What you’ll need (1–2 minutes)

- Go to the official Evermotion Communicator download page.
- Choose the correct build for your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).

Step 2 — Sign in and verify (1 minute)

- Open Settings > Audio & Video.
- Select your preferred microphone and speaker from the dropdown menus.
- Choose your webcam for video calls.
- Click “Test Audio” and “Test Video” to verify everything works.
- If audio is low or choppy, try different ports, use a direct USB connection or switch to a headset.
- If video is black, ensure no other app is using the camera.
Step 4 — Set notifications and presence (30 seconds)
- Go to Settings > Notifications.
- Choose which notifications you want (message alerts, mentions, call rings).

Step 5 — Add contacts and create a channel (2 minutes)
- Click Contacts > Add Contact.
- Enter the contact’s Evermotion ID or email and send an invite.
- To create a channel/group: click Channels > New Channel.
- Name the channel, set privacy (public/private), and invite members.
Step 6 — Test a call and send a message (30 seconds)
- Start a direct message with one contact or a channel.
- Send a test message.
- Initiate a voice or video call to confirm media quality and latency.
- If issues arise, review Steps 3 and 1 (audio devices, permissions, network).
Quick advanced tips (optional, 1–2 minutes)
- For better quality on unstable networks, enable low-bandwidth mode in Settings > Network.
- If using Evermotion in a corporate network, whitelist required domains and ports in your firewall. (Check Evermotion support for exact addresses.)
- Integrate with calendar apps for automatic meeting links (Settings > Integrations).
- Use keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation (Settings > Shortcuts).
Troubleshooting checklist (concise)
- Still can’t sign in? Reset your password or check service status.
- No audio/video? Re-check permissions, switch devices, and restart the app.
- Poor call quality? Use Ethernet or reduce other bandwidth usage.
- Contacts not appearing? Ask the contact to confirm their Evermotion ID or resend the invite.
