Quick fix

Download the RingCentral app from ringcentral.com or your phone’s app store, sign in with your RingCentral account, allow the microphone and notifications, and make a test call.

Step by step

  1. Download the app

    On a computer, download the RingCentral app from ringcentral.com. On a phone, get it from the App Store or Google Play.

  2. Sign in

    Use the email or phone number and password for your RingCentral account. Your administrator may use single sign-on.

  3. Allow permissions

    Allow microphone access, notifications and (on phones) contacts if you want them. Calls won’t work without the microphone.

  4. Pick your audio device

    In the app’s audio settings, choose your headset or speaker and microphone.

  5. Make a test call

    Call a coworker or your own cell phone to check that both sides can hear.

  6. Check how outgoing calls are made

    Make sure calls go out over the app (with your business number), not your personal cell service.

Note: menu names in the RingCentral app can change between versions. If you can’t find a setting, contact us and we’ll walk you through it.
