\nThe key difference in messaging with Voxer lies in voice. It\u2019s like a walkie-talkie, but more. Voice messages are sent live<\/em><\/strong>, so everyone can listen as you speak. At the same time, the app is automatically recording your voice, so it can be listened to later<\/em><\/strong>. This makes Voxer a great tool when your work is time-dependent, but also allows you to communicate when convenient to you.<\/p>\n![\"voxer-blog-team-2\"](\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/voxer-blog-team-2.jpg\")

\nSign up for an account.<\/strong>
\nDownload Voxer on iOS<\/a> or Android<\/a>. You can also sign up for an account on your computer using Voxer for Web<\/a>. Make sure to allow Voxer access your phone address book. That way, you\u2019ll be able to find team contacts more easily.<\/p>\n
\nOnce logged in, you can send Voxer invites to others \u2013 it\u2019s the easiest way to get your team on board. In Voxer, go to the menu and Invite Friends. Everyone who is listed in your phone contact list will appear here. (*But only if you allowed Voxer to access your phone when you signed up!)<\/p>\n
\nThere are two ways to do this:
\n1. Search for other users in your Voxer Contacts List. Search full names, usernames or email addresses.
\n2. Or, Share your profile with others. Go to your Voxer profile page and share via text message, email, or social media.<\/p>\n
\nNow you\u2019re ready to get this chat rolling. If you are the administrator, use the New Chat button in your Chats List to get a group chat set up. Select \u201cGroup Chat\u201d and scroll through your Contacts List to add members. (Remember: If you didn\u2019t add everyone to your Contacts List, they won\u2019t show up here. Add them by tapping on their profile pic and selecting \u201cAdd\u201d.)<\/p>\n
\nIf you are looking for your team’s group chat, you can do one of two things (or both!):
\n1. Ask the group chat admin to send you a link to the group chat.
\n2. Provide the group chat admin with your Voxer username, and ask to be added.<\/p>\n![\"voxer-blog-team-3\"](\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/voxer-blog-team-3.jpg\")

\nSearch privacy<\/strong>
\nYou can make your profile searchable only by email address. That means that even if another user searches your full name or username, they won’t be able to find you.<\/p>\n
