When you need to go over your Dribbble project in more detail, video calls make it easy for clients and designers to connect. You can start a call at any stage—before the proposal to discuss project details, during the proposal to review terms, or after funding to check in on progress and share feedback. This feature is especially useful for complex projects, helping clients and designers build rapport, align expectations, and collaborate more effectively in real time.
Video calls on Dribbble are powered by Zoom. You don’t need a separate account to join a meeting.
To help support the way you work, you can either start an instant call or schedule a meeting for a future time.
How to Start an Instant Video Call
Head to your project thread and click the video call button next to the message box when you're ready to chat.
Your video call will open right on Dribbble, and your project partner will get an invite right in the thread.
When you're finished, click "Leave meeting", and your project thread will show the call has ended.
How to Schedule a Video Call
To book a call:
Coordinate a time and date with the other person via Dribbble messages.
Click “Schedule a meeting” to the right of your project message thread.
Choose a date and time for the call and confirm your time zone.
Add a meeting title, then click Send.
Dribbble will automatically:
Send a confirmation email to both parties with the meeting link
Provide a calendar file to add the meeting to your personal calendar
Send a reminder email 15 minutes before the meeting to help you stay on schedule
Need to make changes? You can reschedule or cancel a meeting at any time. Both actions will trigger a new email with updated details so everyone stays in sync.
Dribbble Scheduling Links
Make it easy for clients to book time with you by sharing your personal Dribbble scheduling link. Your link follows this format: dribbble.com/[USERNAME]/schedule and is available for all Designer Accounts.
✨ To make scheduling even easier, you can use the Meeting Availability feature (Pro only) to set the times you're available and sync with your existing calendar.
Dribbble Meeting Tips
Need more participants? Simply share the meeting link with other team members by selecting 'Copy Link' in your message thread.
Prefer a voice-only call? No worries—just turn off your camera before you start.
There is no time limit on your call. You can use a Dribbble meeting for a quick check-in, or long working sessions.
Video Call Best Practices
Schedule in advance. While not required, we recommend setting up a time for your call or asking your project partner if they're ready to chat before initiating a meeting.
Keep a record of important details. Take notes on key requirements discussed on a call and share them in the chat afterward. This helps keep both parties aligned and provides a clear reference if any disagreements arise.
Be professional and prepared. Show up on time and keep the conversation focused and efficient. Respect everyone’s time by staying on topic, and before ending the call, summarize your next steps.
Prepare your setup and environment. Test your internet connection, microphone, and camera beforehand, and choose a quiet, well-lit space to ensure a smooth and professional call.
Video Call Policy
🤝 Video calls are recorded to keep our marketplace safe for all users.
By joining, all parties agree to call recording and review: Call recordings and transcripts may be flagged by automated systems and reviewed by human moderators for accuracy and policy compliance. They may be used to enforce these policies and support dispute resolution, including project mediation.
Do not share or request contact information: You may share your work and discuss project details, but sharing contact details prior to project payment (such as email, phone numbers, or social profiles) or suggesting moving communication or payment off-platform may result in account suspension.
Maintain respectful and professional behavior: All interactions must follow our Community Guidelines. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated.
Obtain consent for additional recording or sharing: Dribbble records all calls by default for trust and safety. Any additional recording, sharing with third parties, or use of note-taking tools requires the consent of all participants.
Opt for message-only communication if recording is not preferred: If you do not want to participate in a recorded call, use Dribbble messages to communicate instead.
Never share sensitive or personal information: Do not share personal contact details, financial information, login credentials, or identification numbers. Avoid clicking unknown links, downloading unexpected attachments, or granting remote access during calls.
