When you need to go over your Dribbble project in more detail, video calls make it easy for clients and designers to connect. You can start a call at any stage—before the proposal to discuss project details, during the proposal to review terms, or after funding to check in on progress and share feedback. This feature is especially useful for complex projects, helping clients and designers build rapport, align expectations, and collaborate more effectively in real time.
How to Start a Video Call
- Head to your project thread and click the video call button next to the message box when you're ready to chat.
- Your video call will open in Google Meet, and your project partner will get an invite right in the thread.
- When you're finished, click "Leave meeting" in Google Meet, and your project thread will show the call has ended.
Dribbble Meeting Tips
- Need more participants? Simply share the Google Meet link with other team members by selecting 'Copy Link' in your message thread.
- Prefer a voice-only call? No worries—just turn off your camera before you start.
- There is no time limit on your Google Meet. You can use a Dribbble meeting for a quick check-in, or long working sessions.
Video Call Best Practices
- Schedule in advance. While not required, we recommend setting up a time for your call or asking your project partner if they're ready to chat before initiating a meeting.
- Keep a record of important details. Take notes on key requirements discussed on a call and share them in the chat afterward. This helps keep both parties aligned and provides a clear reference if any disagreements arise.
- Protect sensitive information. Never share credit card details, banking info, or personal identification numbers (such as your SSN) during video calls.
- Be professional and prepared. Show up on time and keep the conversation focused and efficient. Respect everyone’s time by staying on topic, and before ending the call, summarize your next steps.
- Prepare your setup and environment. Test your internet connection, microphone, and camera beforehand, and choose a quiet, well-lit space to ensure a smooth and professional call.
- Follow Dribbble’s Community Guidelines. Inappropriate behavior—such as offensive language or harassment —won’t be tolerated. Read the guidelines here.
