Everything You Need to Know About Huawei MeeTime - Huawei Developers

1. Functions and Settings
Q: What is Huawei MeeTime? What are its functions?
A: Huawei MeeTime is the world's first app that utilizes distributed technology to provide voice and video calls across devices. It features HD video calls up to 1080p, one-touch beautification, night time calls, screen sharing, and scene changing. You can also utilize the cameras of other devices such as drones and motion cameras in real time.
Q: How do I enable and use Huawei MeeTime?
A: If you have a Huawei phone that was launched before the P40 series, open the Phone or Contacts app, and touch MeeTime in the lower right corner. Then, log in with your HUAWEI ID or register a new account, link your outgoing call number as prompted, and you're good to go!
If you have a HUAWEI P40 series or HONOR 30 series phone, the MeeTime app will already be installed. You just need to open the app, grant the required permissions, log in with your HUAWEI ID or register a new account, and enable the service by following the prompts.
2. Model and System Versions
Q: Do all Huawei phones support MeeTime?
A: All phones running EMUI 9.1 or later support MeeTime. We're planning to make the service available on all Huawei and Honor models in the future.
Q: Can you only make MeeTime calls between Huawei phones?
A: MeeTime is supported on Huawei phones running EMUI 9.1 or later and Huawei smart devices like tablets, TVs, speakers, and children's watches. We're planning to make the service available on all Huawei and Honor models in the future.
3. Features and Advantages
Q: What advantages does MeeTime have over other video call apps?
A: MeeTime is an industry-leading app that provides 1080 HD video calls, even in dark environments. It features facial recognition and optimization algorithms which keep faces looking crystal clear during video calls. When your network signal is weak (e.g. when you're on the subway or a high-speed train), its super resolution technology adapts the bandwidth to keep your calls completely smooth.
As well as providing voice and video calls between mobile phones, MeeTime lets you make calls to other Huawei devices. You can make voice and video calls between mobile phones, smart TVs, and speakers, and also transfer calls between these devices, so you can select the best device to answer calls.
Q: Will I be charged for MeeTime calls?
A: No, it's free to use. Unlike other voice and video call apps, MeeTime only consumes mobile data, no matter whether you're making voice or video calls, or if you're connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Q: How do I use MeeTime's beautification and background changing functions?
A: During a video call, you can tap the magic wand button in the upper left corner to activate beautification and background changing. You can adjust the beautification level from 0 to 10, and the background changing function supports 360° backgrounds. You can also touch the magic wand button to enable these features before you answer a call.
Q: How do I share my screen during a call?
A: During a video call, tap the screen, then touch More, then initiate screen sharing. You and the person you're talking to will be prompted to confirm the action before you start. This is handy when you need to show someone how to use a particular phone feature, or get friends' opinions when you're shopping online.
4. Other questions
Q: What new functions does MeeTime have on EMUI 10.1 compared with EMUI 10?
A: In EMUI 10.1, we've made MeeTime into a standalone app, and added screen sharing and background changing features. It also supports more Huawei devices, and consumes far less data. We've also opened the MeeTime service to apps such as VIPship, JD, and Maimai.
Q: What MeeTime features will be launched in the future?
A: In the 5G era, we'll bring you many more innovative MeeTime features so you can enjoy even better voice and video calls!
