When a file transfer goes wrong, additional debugging information can be found in a collapsible drawer that helps our technicians diagnose the problem and work on a code fix or a network modification suggestion.
Chat with a Video Smile
High-quality Native Video
Video and audio calls are directly integrated into Trillian over the Trillian Astra network, not pushed into a third-party web browser solution.
Trillian Astra currently utilizes H.263 compression for your video streams. While it will look great with a fast internet connection, Trillian will also intelligently optimize the video stream for a slower connection.
Movie View
Video calls feel like a trip to the movies! The window dims down once a call begins and text feeds in just like onscreen subtitles.
Always the Right Layout
Whether you have a tall or wide window, Trillian will always resize and position video feeds for the most efficient use of space by elegantly switching between side-by-side view, picture-in-picture view, and top-and-bottom view.
Full-screen Video
See your contact "face-to-face" by instructing the video chat to fill your entire screen!
Lights, Camera, Animation!
While you wait for call establishment, a pleasant ringtone reminds you that Trillian is hard at work behind the scenes. Enjoy the soothing and hypnotic volume meters during your call.
Capture the Moment
Take photos of great moments during a video chat with a simple click.
Activity History
Search History
