Initiating calls from the web app
Article Summary
Close only offers built-in calling on the desktop application; calls initiated via the web application are not fully integrated.
If you cannot download the desktop application (e.g. you're using Linux or a Chromebook), you can still use the web application to initiate calls on another calling system. If you're working on Mac or Windows and are having issues downloading or opening the Close desktop app, send a message over to our support team.Download trouble?
