Clicking Telephone Number Link

You can also initiate a call by clicking the phone link directly in your Windows web browser and then dialing via the CommPeak Softphone app (starting from Softphone v.6.2.7).

For this, Softphone automatically registers its capability to handle the "tel:" link protocol, and the application can be added to the system's default apps list (Settings > Apps > Default apps).

After you select Softphone as the default app for opening "tel:" links, every time you click a telephone number link in a web browser, that number will automatically be populated within the Softphone application.
