WebRTC connection

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

Inactive tab

If you duplicate the active tab, the new tab indicates that it is not the active tab — Calls are being handled by : OTHER ANOTHER PAGE.
