  • Can I receive calls even when I am not actively using Talk+?
  • Sure. Talk+ runs in the background when you're not using it and alerts you when there is an incoming call.

  • Why my video call is not fullscreen?
  • Gmail just sends small size video, so your friend video is just on the top of the screen. If you call other Talk+ friends, you'll get fullscreen video call.
