If your Doorbell Cam is synced to an August Smart Lock (for the August View, you'll also need an August Connect), you can lock and unlock the door for visitors during a call. Instructions on configuring your doorbell camera to your Smart Lock are available [here](https://support.august.com/setting-up-your-doorbell-cam-pro-r1xwLkRdf).

During a call, your lock status is indicated by the middle circle on the call screen. Tap the circle to lock or unlock your door.

A solid red circle indicates the device is locked:

A green circle indicates that the device is unlocked and your guest can enter:
