Setting your computer's default phone program

Set your computer’s default callto: program to make sure the appropriate phone system opens when you click on a phone number in LACRM:

Changing your default callto: program on Windows 11:
  • Open the Start menu on your computer. Select the "Settings" option with a gear icon from the list that appears.
  • In the dialog that opens, select “Apps” on the left, and then choose “Default apps.”
  • Select the appropriate phone system in the list (you may need to scroll down the page).
  • On the next page, find the “CALLTO” option and select the desired phone system to save that as the default phone.
  • Note that “TEL” is also a phone option; if the “CALLTO” option doesn’t work you may need to update the “TEL” option instead.
  • Note that Windows 11 is the most recent version of Windows. If you’re on Windows 10 follow the instructions below instead.
Changing your default callto: program on Windows 10:

  • Find the option for “CALLTO,” select the option that appears there (likely Skype), and then choose the desired phone system to save that as the default phone.
  • Note that “TEL” is also a phone option; if the “CALLTO” option doesn’t work you may need to update the “TEL” option instead.
