Phone Workspace (with Webphone)
By default the Phone Workspace will open with the Call History tab selected, you can select to view Call History, Voicemail, or Parked Calls to the right of the webphone in your Phone Workspace.
If enabled, the webphone sits to the left of your chosen call data. Within the webphone, you can “pop-out” the phone to move around your screen or take out of your Phone Workspace.
When you have your webphone as a new window, you will have the option to pin your phone back to the Workspace. This is helpful should you lose that new window. The webphone is always available in all App and Workspace pages via the “Phone” icon in the top right.
Using the Webphone
Simply enter a name (internal), number, or extension. If you enter at least 3 Characters, you will see a search for a user within your office! Click on the user, their information will auto-fill, then you can hit the dial pad to call.
Selecting the gear icon, you will see your microphone, speaker and camera settings. You can leave it set as “Default” and it will auto-select your computer's default speaker and microphone. You can also select away from the default, which will stay present until device is disconnected.
While in a call, you can open the dialpad, mute yourself, place the call on hold, park the call, transfer, start video or start a screenshare.
