How it works

How to make an incoming call video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Type who's calling

    Enter the caller's name or number and the line under it, such as mobile or work. Pick initials or a silhouette for the picture, and its color.

  2. 2

    Decide what happens

    Choose how long it rings, from 1 to 20 seconds, and whether the call is answered, declined or keeps ringing. Answered calls can show a timer counting up.

  3. 3

    Choose the screen and the look

    Fill the frame with the call screen, or show it on a phone that can vibrate. Then pick one of six looks, or your own text and background colors.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

Ready-made versions

When an incoming call video isn’t enough

The free incoming call video is the starting point.

Here you get a call screen on a background. In Rescroll you describe the moment you want — “as I say ‘and then my landlord called’, show a phone ringing beside me with his name on it, and decline it when I laugh” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is an incoming call video?

An incoming call video is a short clip of a phone's call screen as a call comes in: the caller's name, a picture, and round buttons to answer or decline. Creators cut to one in skits and stories, when the plot turns on who's calling, or as a punchline when the call goes unanswered.

This maker draws a generic call screen, not a copy of any one phone's. The picture shows the caller's initials, or a silhouette when the caller is a number, and sends out soft rings while the accept button nudges. Then the call is answered, with the decline button sliding to the middle as the hang-up button and a timer counting from 00:00, or declined, or it keeps ringing.

Set Rings for to the moment in your story when someone picks up, so you don't have to trim the clip later. For a phone in someone's hand or on a table, choose On a phone and lay it over your footage.

Questions

Incoming call video: your questions, answered.

How do I make an incoming call video?

In the maker at the top of this page, type the caller's name, choose whether the call is answered, declined or keeps ringing, set how long it rings and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Is there an incoming call video template?

This page works like one. It opens on a finished call screen, a call from Mom that's answered after three seconds, and you change the name, the picture, the colors and what happens, then download the MP4. There's no project file to open in other software.

Can I use this to pass off a call as real?

No, please don't. It's made for skits, stories, explainers and parody, where your viewers know the call is staged. Don't use it to make anyone believe a real person called, or to put words in a real person's mouth.

Can the call be answered in the video?

Yes. Choose Answered under Then. After the ringing, the accept button is pressed, the decline button slides to the middle as the hang-up button, mute, keypad and speaker buttons appear, and a call timer counts up from 00:00. Turn off Call timer if you don't want it.

Can I show the call being declined?

Yes. Choose Declined under Then. The decline button is pressed, both buttons disappear and the line above the name changes to Call declined, which stays on screen until the clip ends.

Can I make an incoming video call?

Yes. Set Call type to Video. The screen then says Incoming video call, the answer button shows a camera, and an answered call has a camera button in place of the keypad.

Can I use a phone number instead of a name?

Yes. The caller field takes a name or a number, up to 28 characters. When there are no letters to take initials from, the picture shows a silhouette instead.

Does it look like an iPhone or Android call screen?

Neither exactly. It's a generic call screen with the parts every phone has: the caller's name, a line under it, a round picture, and green and red buttons. It isn't a copy of any phone maker's design.

Does the incoming call video have a ringtone?

No. The MP4 is silent. Add a ringtone or a vibration sound under it in your editor, lined up with the start of the clip.

Can I put the incoming call over my own footage?

Yes. Choose On a phone, set the background to green and download. In your editor, place the clip above your footage and remove the green with chroma key, and the phone is left over your video.

How long can the phone ring?

From 1 to 20 seconds, in half-second steps. An answered or declined call then stays on screen for 1.5 to 15 seconds, and the call timer counts during that time.

Is the incoming call video maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The incoming call video is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Which browsers does it work in?

It needs a browser that can encode video with the WebCodecs API: current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Firefox on a computer. If your browser can't, the page tells you before you start.

Can I use the incoming call video in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
