Completed forms are then able to be downloaded as a PDF file.   The Customizable Form App is available on Coviu's Essentials, Standard and Premium plans and installed on your account by default.    [![LEARN MORE ABOUT FORMS](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4554639/7c116564-e96a-4041-9339-e7dc75f703d7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4554639/7c116564-e96a-4041-9339-e7dc75f703d7)   -------   ![Newsletter Product Updates](https://www.coviu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Newsletter%20Product%20Updates.jpg?width=187&height=300&name=Newsletter%20Product%20Updates.jpg)   Pre-Call Check For Call Hosts   Now, when a user clicks a button or link to join a guest/patient/client in a call, the user can perform the following before entering the call: - Mute their microphone - Hide their camera - Switch cameras (if they have multiple cameras) - Check their camera positioning - Check their microphone is working ------- ![quality survey](https://www.coviu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/quality%20survey.png?width=187&height=291&name=quality%20survey.png)   Post-Call Quality Survey   Now when participants end a call, there is an option to give feedback about the in-call experience to help us better understand issues that may arise during a call.
