| Capability Summary | Supports starting a voice call directly from a collaboration one-on-one chat, with in-call controls for participants, chat, sharing, recording, layout, and mute all. | Teams meetings provide chat, participant list, invite options, view controls, and organizer controls, with participant permission management during meetings. | Google Meet provides a people panel, participant muting, pinning, and host management; with host management on, hosts can mute everyone. | Notion mainly provides AI Meeting Notes for transcription, summaries, and meeting organization, which can support one-on-one meeting records alongside external meeting tools. | Adobe Connect provides persistent meeting rooms, chat pods, file sharing, and recording for ongoing online meeting spaces. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: start voice communication directly from an existing one-on-one chat; Distinct: the call window combines participants, chat, sharing, recording, and meeting notes entry points in one place. | Compared with WPS: more centered on full meeting scenarios, while the official guidance does not emphasize a direct one-on-one chat-to-call path. | Compared with WPS: host controls and mute management are clearly documented, but the official guidance is broader meeting management rather than chat-first calling. | Compared with WPS: focuses more on post-meeting transcription and summaries than on a native one-on-one voice call entry. | Compared with WPS: emphasizes persistent meeting rooms and meeting-space setup rather than a lightweight one-on-one chat launch path. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS One-on-One Voice Call is well suited to users who are already communicating in a collaboration chat and want to move into live voice communication quickly. If your priority is a direct chat-first path with common in-call controls, WPS offers a straightforward workflow; for larger meeting governance or dedicated meeting spaces, other meeting products may fit different needs.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quick confirmation in chat | Colleagues and project members | Text back-and-forth can be slow | Click Call directly in the one-on-one chat window to start voice communication |
| 2 | Explain while collaborating in a call | Remote workers | Need to talk while sharing content or sending text follow-up | Use sharing, chat, and the participant panel during the call |
| 3 | Temporary device switch | Users whose current computer has no microphone | The computer cannot capture voice, so the call cannot continue normally | Scan the code and join from a phone instead |
| 4 | Meeting order control | Hosts | Too many active speakers can interrupt the meeting | Use Mute All in the participant panel |
| 5 | Keep a record after the call | Users who need to review outcomes | Call details are hard to revisit later | Use recording or the meeting notes entry during the call |
