About This Feature
Overview
Group Call is an instant meeting feature in WPS Office for Mac collaboration chats. It lets you start a group call directly from the bottom toolbar in a chat window, then invite all group members or only selected participants.
Core capabilities include:
- Start a call quickly from the bottom toolbar in a collaboration chat for fast discussions and short syncs.
- Invite everyone in the group when the whole team needs to join.
- Select specific participants for smaller discussions or focused coordination.
After the call starts, WPS opens the meeting interface automatically, and the initiator becomes the host by default.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | You can start an in-group call directly from a collaboration chat through the bottom toolbar, then invite everyone or selected participants. | Microsoft Teams lets users add people to a meeting and invite required or optional attendees in scheduled meetings. | Google Meet lets users add people after a meeting starts and share joining information with others. | Notion focuses on meeting notes, calendar workflows, and conferencing links rather than a native in-chat group calling room. | Adobe Connect supports attendee management, roles, and permissions in formal online meeting rooms. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the call entry is inside the group chat, so the launch path is short. Distinct: it supports both invite-all and selected-participant flows. | Compared with WPS: Teams is more centered on calendar meetings and in-meeting participant management than an in-chat launch flow. | Compared with WPS: Meet relies more on adding people from the meeting interface or sharing meeting details after creation. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for meeting notes and calendar coordination, but it does not provide the same native in-chat call launch flow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Connect offers deeper attendee controls, but the workflow is more oriented to structured meeting-room management. |

Overall Conclusion
If your workflow is centered on WPS collaboration chats, Group Call is a practical way to start a meeting without leaving the chat window. Other products also support inviting participants or managing meetings, but their entry points and collaboration paths are different.
