Once you have installed the Ooma Office desktop application, you can set it up to call numbers directly from web pages and applications you’ve installed on your desktop computer. Once you set this feature up, clicking a phone number will automatically open the Ooma Office desktop application and pre-populate the dialer with that phone number. From there, you can just click to call.

To get started, you’ll have to do some simple setup to make sure that the Ooma Office desktop application is your computer’s default calling application. Your method for doing this will depend on whether you’re running Mac OS or Windows, so be sure to follow the correct instructions below.
