Use Constructor Groups as your call provider in Zulip

You can configure Constructor Groups as the call provider for your organization. Users will be able to start a Constructor Groups call and invite others using the add video call (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-video-call"></i>) button in the compose box.

**Note:** This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip
installations, and requires a Constructor Groups account.

Configure Constructor Groups as your call provider

By default, Zulip integrates with Jitsi Meet, a fully-encrypted, 100% open source video conferencing solution. You can configure Zulip to use Constructor Groups as your call provider instead.
