# Dialpad App Requirements

Dialpad is available across all major operating systems, meaning you can bring your own device and work the way you feel most comfortable — just log in and you’re all set!

Dialpad's Native Desktop App or Chrome Web App runs on laptops and desktops running Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS (formerly Mac OS X), and Google ChromeOS.

Not only that, we also have a Chrome Web Extension so you can access Dialpad directly from your web browser!

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Amazon tablets are not currently supported.

To download and install the mobile app, visit the [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/switch-co/id921879637) or [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.switchapp&amp;hl=en_US).

## Chromebooks

Dialpad does support Chromebooks, however, if they do not meet the following standards you are more likely to have call quality issues and slowness when attempting to multitask (using multiple tabs/apps).

- Platform: Linux x86_64
- Chrome Version: Latest (Menu > Help > About Google Chrome)
- Chrome OS Version: Latest
- Memory: 4GB
- CPU: Intel(R) Core (TM) m3-6Y30 @ 0.90GHz

## Virtual environments

### Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a server-based computing model that separates the desktop environment and associated application software from the physical client device that is used to access it.

Dialpad supports certain virtual environments after partnering with a customer on an agreed plan to maintain a high level of quality of services. Complete this [form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoI7W_wb82lqV5blwlNSNLRpGzAGFLfShqxrEtyIs5sMhcOg/viewform) to provide information about your environment and start the process. Not all virtual environments are created equal. There are many factors that go into the ability for a virtual environment to support real time communications services such as Dialpad.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Dialpad supports users on our Native or Web App. While our Customer Support team is dedicated to helping resolve any issues, it's important to note that if you're using a virtual environment, we'll need to replicate the problem in a non-VDI environment for troubleshooting.
> 
> If the issue cannot be replicated in a non-VDI environment, Dialpad Support may request that you report the issue to the appropriate virtualization vendor's product support team.
> 
> If you experience performance issues with the Dialpad Desktop or Web App as a result of running it in a VDI environment, Dialpad will not consider those issues to be product- or platform-related.

> [!CAUTION]
> Stay tuned for updates!
> 
> Watch this article closely, we'll update it as Dialpad's app requirements change.
