Lynk softphone can be used via the Synkato Desktop Application (previously Integrated Softphone) or by downloading the Lynk app from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). Simply log in with your Synkato credentials and you will be registered and able to make and receive calls, similar to the Bolt and Integrated WebRTC features. See below for additional details. All users must download the latest Desktop App to take advantage of all the features offered.

SynkUp - Synkato Video Meetings

Video meetings are now available within Synkato! SynkUp is an additional main tab where users are able to schedule and invite others to video meetings or launch an impromptu video call. Attendees can share video, audio, and screens with others seamlessly with the option to record. See below for details on how to enable this feature. All users must download the latest Desktop App to take advantage of all the features offered.

If you have any questions regarding the softphone or video meeting features, please contact support@axiatp.com.

General Improvements

Major

Lynk

• Users with access to the Users module can enable the Lynk feature at an individual level. Users who previously had Integrated WebRTC enabled do not need to have any modifications, and the mobile app is now available for them. Bolt Softphone is still available for use, but any single user cannot have both softphone features enabled.

SynkUp

• Please contact your Synkato representative or the Synkato Services Team to enable this feature for your system. Chat+ is required for all users when SynkUp is enabled. Your system must have a `synkato.io` domain in order to take advantage of this feature.
