SitSignal Guides

Schedule a video call during your booking

Either the client or the sitter can line up a video call inside a booking. Agree on a time in chat, set it on the calendar, and SitSignal reminds you both when it's time. And if you'd rather just hop on a call in the moment — you always can.

Who can schedule a call

Scheduling a video call is built into every booking, and either side can set it up— clients and sitters both. It's handy when you want a face-to-face check-in at a time that works for everyone, with reminders so nobody forgets.

1

Agree on a time, then open the scheduler

Use the booking chat to agree on a time that works for both of you. Then tap the calendar icon in the chat header — it sits right next to the audio and video call buttons.

Get reminders, then join the call

SitSignal sends you a few reminders as your call approaches, so it's easy to be ready. When it's time, open the booking chat and tap the video call button in the header to call the other person.

You can call anytime — scheduling is optional

Friendly reminder: voice and video calling are available throughout your booking. You never have to schedule anything to connect — the calendar is just there for when it helps to lock in a time and get reminders.

Tap the audio or video call button in the booking chat header any time you want to talk. Scheduling simply lines up a time in advance.
