About This Feature

Overview

Group Call is an instant meeting feature inside WPS Office collaboration group chats on Windows. It lets you start a group call directly from an existing group conversation.

Key capabilities include:

Start a meeting from the bottom toolbar in a group chat window.
Invite all group members into the meeting.
Select specific participants before the meeting starts.
Enter the meeting interface automatically after the call starts, with the initiator set as the host by default.

This feature is useful for project check-ins, quick team discussions, and fast coordination across members. It keeps chat and meeting actions in the same collaboration context, so you do not need to switch to a separate workflow to begin a call.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can start a group call directly from the bottom toolbar in a WPS collaboration group chat, invite everyone or selected participants, and enter the meeting interface right away.	Teams supports instant meetings from a group chat, with participant viewing and options to notify others to join.	Google Chat supports adding a video meeting from a chat conversation, and group conversations can join a video meeting through Chat and Meet integration.	Notion provides meeting support mainly through AI Meeting Notes and calendar-based event workflows rather than a native group-chat call button.	Adobe Connect provides persistent meeting rooms and real-time collaboration spaces, but it is centered on standalone meeting rooms rather than starting a call inside a group chat thread.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can start the meeting, choose participants, and enter the meeting from the same group chat window. Distinct: WPS supports both inviting everyone and selecting participants before the meeting starts.	Compared with WPS: Teams also supports instant meetings in group chat, but its flow emphasizes Meet now and follow-up notifications in the chat thread.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat can launch a meeting from chat, but the meeting flow relies more on Meet links and Chat integration.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for meeting notes and event organization than for native group calling inside a chat conversation.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Connect is better aligned with dedicated meeting-room scenarios than with chat-first group calling.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Group Call is well suited to teams that want to move from group chat to a live meeting with fewer steps. Other products also support meetings, but their meeting entry points and chat-to-meeting flow are organized differently.
