5. Talk!
6. Close window when done.

**PRO TIP**: Use the chat to coordinate a time with the talent user for the call. Once you have confirmed a time with them in the chat, let them know to join the call. Suggested wording:

"Great! I will use the video chat on PopBookings. You should receive a push notification from the app, open the app and click to launch the video chat. I look forward to speaking with you!"
