How to Install GCF Chrome Extension

The GCF Click-to-Dial extension for Google Chrome is designed to help busy professionals and salespeople to quickly dial a phone number on a web page directly from the browser they use.

Users can initiate calls by highlighting a phone number on the web page and then right-clicking and selecting it from the drop-down menu or directly entering a phone number in the extension (click on the extension icon at the right upper corner to open our dialer). Please make sure that you select a phone number that has either + in front of the country code or has the proper country code prefix and that there are no local dialing digits in the middle, which could result in error messages.

Use this extension alongside our GCF Microsoft Softphone to directly initiate calls on any Chrome webpage by clicking the call button next to the number.
