As depicted in the image, the upcoming addition to your Twitter (X) direct messages (DMs) will exhibit a phone receiver icon positioned at the upper right corner once the functionality is activated.
Upon tapping this icon, users will be presented with the choice to initiate an audio call or a video call.
For video calls, the interface will resemble a conventional call setup, with a picture-in-picture display showcasing both the user’s video feed and that of the recipient.
Furthermore, interactive buttons will facilitate call management tasks such as call termination, toggling the camera on or off, muting one’s microphone, and adjusting speaker settings.
It’s worth noting that the ultimate iteration of this feature may potentially exhibit slight variations from the current presentation.
