Telegram isn't just about the large group chats and bots. Telegram has a great voice and video calling feature, too. Here's how to make voice and video calls on Telegram.

While the chat messages are only server-side encrypted, voice and video calls in Telegram are end-to-end encrypted.

Currently, Telegram only supports voice and video calls in one-on-one conversations. It has a separate Voice Chat feature where anyone in the Telegram group can drop in and talk. In this article, we will be focusing on making voice and video calls in private conversations.

Make Voice or Video Calls in Telegram on Android

You can quickly place an audio or video call in Telegram using the menu option. To get started, open the Telegram app and select the contact you want to call.

Here, tap the three-dot menu icon found in the top-right corner.

From the menu, choose the "Call" option to start an audio call or the "Video Call" option to start a video call.

You can also switch to a video call after placing a voice call. To do this, just tap the "Start Video" button.

Once you're done with the call, just tap the red "End Call" button to stop the call.

Make Voice or Video Calls on Telegram for iPhone

You can make voice and video calls from the contact's profile. To get started, open the Telegram app and choose the contact who you want to call.

Here, tap the contact's name from the top of the screen.

You can choose the "Call" option if you want to make a voice call or the "Video" option if you want to make a video call.

Tap Call or Video Call

You can convert a voice call into a video call by tapping the "Camera" button.

From the pop-up message, tap the "Switch" button.

To end the call, just tap the red "End" button.

Make Voice or Video Calls in Telegram for Desktop

Telegram's Desktop app handles calls in a different way. Instead of directly starting a video call, you need to place a voice call first. From there, you can switch to the video call by turning on the camera.

To get started, open the Telegram Desktop app on your computer, then navigate to the conversation that you want to start a call from.

Click the phone icon from the top-right corner of the screen to start the call.

Once the call is picked up, you can select the "Camera" button to turn on your camera and switch to a video call.

To end the call, click the "Decline" button.


If video calling isn't your thing, you can also use Telegram to send disappearing photos and videos.

How to Enable (and Disable) Macros in Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:33 AM PST

Microsoft Office Logo

If you repeatedly perform a task, you can save time by using a macro to automate that task. However, not all macros are created equal—some contain malicious code. Here's how to enable (or disable) macros in Microsoft Office 365.

Security Warning

Macros are used to automate tasks by mapping a sequence of keystrokes to perform a specific task. In Office, you can record a macro with no development background, but macros are code. Legitimate macros save you the time and effort of having to press the same keys or click the same buttons repeatedly.

However, someone with ill intent can inject malicious code in an Office document via a macro and infect your computer and/or network.

RELATED: Macros Explained: Why Microsoft Office Files Can Be Dangerous

Always be cautious when downloading an Office document from the web and never open any documents from unreliable sources.

Enable or Disable Macros for Office on Windows 10

Macros are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them. If you open a file that contains macros, Microsoft Office will send a security warning via the Message Bar at the top of the document. To enable the macros in the file, click "Enable Content" in the Message Bar.

You can also enable macros in the "Security Warning" section. To do so, click the "File" tab.

Next, select "Info" from the pane on the left.

If the Office document contains macros, you'll see a yellow "Security Warning" section; click "Enable Content."

Click "Enable All Content" in the drop-down menu that appears.

The macros will now be enabled for the duration of the session. If you want to disable the macros, simply close the document, and then reopen it.

How to Adjust Macro Settings on Windows 10

Although it's recommended that you leave macros disabled by default, you can manage the macros settings in the Trust Center. To do so, click "File."

Next, select "Options" from the pane that appears on the left.

In the "Options" menu that appears ("Word Options" in our example), click "Trust Center."

In the "Microsoft Trust Center" section, click "Trust Center Settings."

You'll now be in the "Macro Settings" tab of the Trust Center. Here, you have the following four options:

  • "Disable All Macros Without Notification": This setting disables macros and relevant security alerts.
  • "Disable All Macros with Notification": Select this option to disable macros, but also send a security alert so you know a document contains macros.
  • "Disable All Macros Except Digitally Signed Macros": Selecting this disables macros, but sends a security alert so you know the document contains macros. However, it will run macros that contain a digital signature by a trusted publisher. If you haven't trusted the publisher, you'll receive an alert.
  • "Enable All Macros (Not Recommended; Potentially Dangerous Code Can Run)": If you select this setting, all macros will run without a warning.

Click the radio button next to the setting you prefer, and then click "OK."

Enable or Disable Macros for Office on Mac

When you try to open an Office file containing macros on your Mac, a security warning will appear before the document opens. The message states that macros might contain viruses, and you should only enable macros if you trust the source.

Click "Enable Macros" to enable them, "Disable Macros" to disable them, or "Do Not Open" to prevent Office from opening the document.

If you click "Enable Macros," the macros will be enabled for the duration of the session. If you want to disable the macros, simply close the document, and then reopen it.

How to Adjust Macro Settings on a Mac

Leaving macros disabled is recommended for tighter security, although you can tell Office how to handle documents that contain macros.

To do so, open an Office file, and then click the program menu at the top (we're using Word). Select "Preferences" from the menu.

In the "Personal Settings" section, select "Security & Privacy."

Mac's security and privacy settings

In the "Macro Security" section, you can choose from the following three options:

  • "Disable All Macros Without Notification": This setting disables macros and relevant security alerts.
  • "Disable All Macros with Notification": Select this option to disable macros, but also receive a security alert so you'll know a document contains macros.
  • "Enable All Macros (Not Recommended; Potentially Dangerous Code Can Run)": Choose this option if you want to run all macros without a warning.

Just click the radio button next to the setting you prefer.

Extensions in Mozilla Firefox enable you to add all kinds of new features to the browser. But, if you're not using an extension, removing it can help speed up your browser and protect your privacy. Here's how to disable or remove an add-on from Firefox.

First, open "Firefox." In any window, click the hamburger button (three horizontal lines) and select "Add-ons" from the menu.

In Firefox, click the hamburger menu and select "Add-ons."

An "Add-ons Manager" tab will open that lists all of your installed Extensions. If you'd like to disable an extension (which will leave the add-on installed but make it inactive), flip the switch beside it to turn it off.

In Firefox, click the switch to disable an extension.

Once disabled, the extension will move to a separate list of "Disabled" extensions below the "Enabled" list at the top of the page. If you need to enable it again later, just flip the switch beside it again to turn it on.

If you'd like to completely uninstall and remove an extension, click the ellipses button (three dots) beside the extension in the list and select "Remove."

To remove an extension in Firefox, click the ellipses button and select "Remove."

After selecting "Remove," you'll see a confirmation window pop-up asking if you really want to remove the extension. Click "Remove."

When it asks for confirmation, click "Remove."

After that, the extension will be uninstalled completely. If you ever need to use that particular extension again, you'll need to reinstall it.

A Quick Way to Remove an Extension Using the Toolbar

If your Firefox extension has an icon in the toolbar, you can uninstall the extension quickly by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Remove Extension" from the menu that pops up.

Right-click an extension icon in Firefox and select "Remvoe Extension."

After that, you'll see a confirmation window appear. Click the "Remove" button, and the extension will be removed from Firefox completely. Happy browsing!

How to Add Google Maps Shortcuts to Your Android Home Screen

Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:13 AM PST

The days of needing a dedicated GPS unit for navigation are long gone. Thanks to Google Maps, all you need is a smartphone to get turn-by-turn directions. With home screen shortcuts on Android, it gets even easier to use.

Typically, the process for getting directions involves opening the Google Maps app, searching for a location, finding the one you want, and starting navigation. If you're doing this every day, it can become a bit cumbersome.
