For any organization, communication is key to success. Professional collaboration tools with data security in mind are essential in almost every aspect of digital exchange. Our i‑net CoWork platform can live up to that task within your company, educational institutions, a local community, or even just with your friends. It is set up within minutes and offers a broad spectrum of functions that are easily extended using the Plugin Store.

Text Chat
i‑net CoWork offers a simple text chat for individual and group chats with file upload, emojis, reactions and history search. Messages can be formatted, replied to and targeted with mentions. Everything is organized in teams and channels - public or private.

Voice and Video Chat
Voice and video calls with screen sharing are always available in i‑net CoWork. This includes muting, camera on/off and selecting audio sources. The video quality automatically adapts to the bandwidth, while functions such as "raise hand" and reactions ensure active participation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions about i‑net CoWork. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our support team is available during business hours to answer your questions and help you solve any problems.
- Does every user have to install an application on their PC? No, i‑net CoWork only needs to be installed on a server. Using the latest browser, any user can join without additional installation. Also: there is no user limitation.
- Why is there no button for calls in channels? Calls (voice, video, screen sharing) only work if the server is accessed through a valid HTTPS connection. Furthermore, make sure that the plugin “CoWork Calls” is installed and activated in the Store.
- Are there any restrictions on the number of participants in a video conference? The number of participants is not determined by a fixed limit, but by the performance of the central server and the individual download bandwidth of the users. i‑net CoWork relies on a central SFU architecture that enables efficient transmission of video and audio. If one participant has a poor connection, the quality of the transmission is automatically adjusted to ensure stable communication for everyone.
- Can I test i‑net CoWork extensively before purchasing a license? Yes! During the initial setup after installing i‑net CoWork, a trial license is created by our license server. This has a validity of 90 days and provides enough time to extensively test all functions, even in larger organizations.
- Do I need another license if I have already licensed another i‑net software product? If you have another i‑net software product with a valid license, you can install the text chat feature of i‑net CoWork from the Store and use it at no additional cost. Only additional features, such as voice and video chat, require an additional i‑net CoWork feature license.
