Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't click-to-call automatically start calling when I click on a number?

1. Select Extensions 
2. Navigate to Dialpad Extension 
3. Select Details

Why is click-to-call automatically calling the number when I have my Chrome extension set to 'Confirm phone number before placing call'?

Make sure you have the Dialpad Everywhere setting for Launch immediately when answering calls or initiating calls from the web disabled within the app settings.
