# Log in to the Cloud Voice App within Dynamics 365 CRM

Once your administrator has connected Cloud Voice to Dynamics 365 CRM (Customer Relationship Management), a Cloud Voice App plugin becomes available directly inside the Dynamics 365 workspace. Signing in to the plugin lets you handle calls and other phone-system tasks alongside your CRM records, with no need to switch windows. This page walks you through opening the plugin and logging in.

## Before you begin

- Your administrator must have finished [connecting Cloud Voice to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM](/pbx/integrations/dynamics-365/integrate-cloud-voice-with-microsoft-dynamics-365-crm/).
- Have the right credentials ready for the sign-in method you plan to use. The requirements differ by method:

  | Sign-in method | What you need |
  | --- | --- |
  | Extension credentials | The username and password for your extension account, provided by your administrator. |
  | Google account | Your administrator has connected the phone system to **Google Workspace**, synced your Google account to Cloud Voice and linked it to an extension, and turned on **Single Sign-on (SSO)**. |
  | Microsoft account | Your administrator has connected the phone system to **Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory)**, synced your Microsoft account to Cloud Voice and linked it to an extension, and turned on **Single Sign-on (SSO)**. |
  | Active Directory account | Your administrator has connected the phone system to **Active Directory**, synced your AD account to Cloud Voice and linked it to an extension, and turned on **Single Sign-on (SSO)**. |

## Sign in

Use whichever of the following methods matches your account.

### Extension credentials

1. On the sign-in page, enter your extension account details:
   - **Username**: the email address tied to your extension account.
   - **Password**: the password for that account.
2. Click **LOG IN**.
3. If two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, type the verification code and click **LOG IN** again.

   :::tip
   On the device you use most often, turn on **Trusted Devices** during this step. The plugin then skips the verification code on that device for the next 180 days.
   :::

   :::caution
   Only turn on **Trusted Devices** for a computer that is yours alone. Enabling it on a shared or public machine lets anyone using that machine sign in for the next 180 days without a verification code.
