Fast way to create a call

In the earlier version of frontline.io users were required to download the frontline.io application. In the new version, users can join a Remote Support Call using the web browser. Initiating a call can be done using the installed application. Although this allows for quick creation of the Remote Support Call, users joining via the web will not be able to enjoy the annotation anchoring capabilities available for application users.

For more information about Remote Support Calls through the web see our Help Desk.
