How do I answer calls on the Webphone page?

When you are on the Webphone page, for example in your contacts or call history, you will see a block appear in the bottom right when you receive a call.

How do I answer calls from desktop notifications?

Are you busy in another tab? Don't worry - your calls will still come through via the notifications in the top right of your screen. Make sure not to close the Webphone tab!

When you used the Webphone for the first time, you gave permission for notifications to be sent. We need this permission to send you a notification when someone calls you.
