Desktop Users are the users or admins that receive incoming Talkroute calls through the Talkroute desktop application. Desktop App Users can be added directly to Virtual Phone Numbers, Call Menu Options, or Multi-digit extensions to receive incoming calls.
The Desktop App can be downloaded from this page here: https://talkroute.com/downloads
To route calls to a Desktop App User, please follow the steps below:
