Accessing & Logging In

1. You may access the Web Phone from the Dashboard, by clicking on the phone icon near your name at the top right

2. You can also access the Web Phone by going directly to https://webphone.virtualpbx.net with a web browser (We support Chrome and Firefox). Users log in using the same credentials as their Dash user account.

Enter the same login details that you use for your VirtualPBX Dashboard. You can always use the Forgot password? option if you’re unsure of your login credentials.

As you’re signing in, be sure to allow permissions for the Camera, Microphone, and Notifications. These permissions are required for the Web Phone to function properly. If you are not prompted to enable these features, please access your browser’s “Permissions” settings to manually enable them.

Once signed in, you’ll be prompted to enable Audio Notifications.

After that, you will be able to select devices for your Microphone, Speaker, and VirtualPBX Device. Select the desired devices from the drop-down menus. If you’d like, you can choose to “Mute Keyboard sounds,” which silences the keypad buttons when making a call. Select Accept, and you are ready to begin using the VirtualPBX Web Phone!
