ContactPad
To avoid disconnecting from your call by closing the webpage or tab that contains your containing the active ContactPad, you may be disconnected from your call. To avoid this happening, you can open (or 'pop') a separate tab that will contain the active WebRTC connection instead. You will then be able WebRTC tab. This tab contains WebRTC. Doing so enables you to work with and close any of your webpages or tabs containing ContactPad , without risking being disconnected from an active (temporarily or permanently) from your call. Depending on the setting in your account, opening a separate WebRTC tab may be mandatory.

The new tab shows information about your WebRTC connection status — Calls are being handled by THIS : THIS PAGE — and clearly indicates that you should not close the page. If you are not currently on a call, the call state is DISCONNECTED.
Active tab (no call)
If you duplicate the active tab, the new tab indicates that it is not the active tab — Calls are being handled by ANOTHER : OTHER PAGE. This may also occur in a previously active tab if you refresh the page and the WebRTC connection reverts to ContactPad. In this scenario, find the active tab and close all inactive tabs. If no active tab is found, click Enable audio START to return the WebRTC connection to this page.
Inactive tab
When you receive or make a call, your call state changes to RINGING. Accept and Reject buttons appear — they also appear in ContactPad. You can accept or reject the call in either the active tab or in ContactPad. If auto-answer for inbound or outbound calls, or both, is enabled for your account, you will be connected immediately to inbound or outbound calls, or both as applicable.
Active tab (call waiting to be answered)
When you answer the call either automatically or by clicking Accept, your call state changes to ACTIVE. While you wait for the call connect after accepting it, Accept may change briefly to Accepting. When the call is answered, Hangup and mute buttons replace Accept, or Accepting, and Reject, a WebRTC keypad appears.
