How does softphone encryption work?
Signaling can be encrypted with TLS and media with SRTP, and file transfers are encrypted too. Certificate verification is configurable, and credentials are stored encrypted on the device.
How do users get set up on the softphone?
From the SessionCloud portal, send each user a QR code for mobile or a one-time setup link for desktop. The app configures itself with the right SIP settings, so nobody has to type server addresses or passwords.
Can users make video calls from the softphone?
Yes. Video calling works on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android once it's switched on for your account in the SessionCloud portal.
Does the softphone include messaging?
Yes. Depending on your plan and setup, users can send instant messages, join group chat rooms, share files and send SMS through your SIP provider, right alongside their calls.
Can I migrate from another softphone provider?
Yes. SessionCloud uses standard SIP — if your current softphone works with your PBX, ours will too. QR code provisioning makes re-deploying to your users fast and painless.
