      This kinda sounds like the Skype links we used to see in websites (and maybe some people still do)

        Not likely, was Skype actually embedded into the site? This isn't a link but an entire phone that loads in a web page.

          Does the web phone have it's won extension built in? Or does it load a generic SIP client and let the user input an extension and password?

            sorry the image cannot be uploaded, i don't know why ???

            You have to wait for a while once it hits 100%. If you "submit" while it is still on 100%, it hasn't completed yet. It is created a link, so you have to wait until a link is visible.

            yes you are right, now it was uploaded
            thanks

              There would be no need for an extension because the whole thing runs in a browser.

                Okay, so it is a competing PBX to FreePBX. You don't need FreePBX to do this for you, you can just put SIP code into a web page and it is the same as any other SIP client.

                  Yeah, you're right. For Skype links to work, you have to have Skype installed.

                    Yes, still need an extension. Not sure what you mean by running in a browser meaning that it does not need an extension. A softphone loaded in a browser or loaded as a .NET app or running in Java is all the same, just a SIP client.

                      That will work with any softphone and link detection. But since people don't use standard SIP phones, it makes it difficult.

                        it has it own extension and username and password, it is like a softphone with the difference that webphone is not a software but rather it is a piece of code, it is a very useful way to make your costumers call you freely and internationally

                            oh...lol - by extension I thought he meant .exe or .txt - I see now that he meant PBX extension.. yeah you're right, the user will need one.

                              Sure, but how many users can use it at one time?

                                Presumably each one gets it's own extension. So effectively unlimited.

                                    I knew what you were trying to say. 🙂

                                    Although it is still important to remember conceptually, as it often confuses people, that all that is happening in the web page is that a full software application is being downloaded automatically and run on the desktop. It's still full software, just does not persist to the disk.

                                      the webphone is considered an outside line like a PSTN line or a PRI trunk or a VOIP trunk....it is not an internal extension
                                      to understand the concept take a look on this article

                                          Hi everybody...

                                          did anyone try webphone in freePBX ?? because i used this option in the ozeki XE IP PBX, it is sort of html code that you insert in your webpage so that your costumers can call you freely from your website like this image :

                                          2015-08-10_130015.png

                                          please if anyone had set up this before in freePBX , help me do that

                                          I wouldn't use it. this will tie directly into your PBX. That also makes logging calls harder to know where they came from they will basically seem internal and could have some legal implications.

                                          I'd just use the standard TEL: links to their sip client, sykpe or smart phone will allow them to call from their own number.

                                            Not really. It's a directly connected extension just like an internal phone. Sure they may be rules on it but that doesn't change the fact that it's on your PBX.
