2. Making calls

Make a call

There are several possibilities to initiate a call:

  • double click on the number you want to call or
  • drag & drop the number to the area on the right or
  • use the dial pad to enter the telephone number or search the directory via the search field

Please be aware that not all number formats will work as intended. Therefore we always recommend the international standard, e.g.: +49 152 2881738 or +44 163 2960201
If one of your contacts uses the national number format (e.g.: 0171 39200 12) it will work as long as you stay in the same national telephone network as the target. But if you would try a call from aboard, it will connect to the national telephone network of your current location.

Call status

Your call status is visible at the top of the screen. When in a call, conference or meeting, the green banner shows the corresponding name or number and the duration of the call.

When the call is on hold, the banner at the top is yellow.

Incoming call

In case of an incoming call, a pop up with caller's information as phone number or extension and name will appear.

- Accept or decline the call.

Browser notifications for incoming calls

You will be notified of incoming calls when the browser window is minimised or you are currently on another tab.

Hold

You can put a call on hold by clicking on the hold button null.

  • In case of a second incoming call, a pop up with caller's information will appear. A second indication will appear in the telephone field.

- Take the second call and put the first call on hold automatically.

Or you can deflect the call to your voicemail.

You can also put both calls on hold at the same time.

Your call status is visible at the top of the screen. If all calls are on hold, a yellow line indicating your status will appear.

Call swap

Call swap is a change between two active calls.

- Click on the telephone number and swap the calls.

You will see the active call in the green bar on the very top of the app and in the telephone field, tagged as "In call".
