# Cloud Voice App Web Client Guide

The Cloud Voice App web client runs entirely in your browser, giving you a full softphone (a software phone that lets you make and take calls from your computer, no physical desk phone required) and collaboration workspace without installing anything. This guide gives you step-by-step procedures and reference information for signing in, making and handling calls, messaging your colleagues, and tailoring your extension to the way you work.

:::note
This is the end-user guide: it covers day-to-day tasks for your own extension. Account-wide setup (creating extensions, dial plans, trunks, and similar) lives in the Administrator Guide, not here.

## What you can do

From the web client you can:

- Place, receive, transfer, and record calls straight from a browser tab.
- Message coworkers one-to-one or in group chats.
- Host and join audio and video conferences.
- Send and receive faxes, review call logs and recordings, and pick up voicemail.
- Manage your contacts and adjust your personal preferences.
