Calls

Active calls are synced between x-bees and Collaboration.

Important: in case you are using both x-bees and Collaboration at the same time, the logic is the following:

  • The app (x-bees or Collaboration) that was last open, is the active one to receive incoming calls 
  • If you manually use another app to make or accept a call, then this app becomes the active one
  • If you close the active app, then another tab becomes the active one

This means, if you want to change the active app (x-bees or Collaboration), then refresh the web page with that app.
