Please Note: The download will not be offered if you are in Incognito.
Click on the Apps menu at the top right of the screen, then select the Webphone.
Once the Webphone opens, accept any prompts or permissions you see, then click the PWA icon at the right side of the address bar, then click Install.
Once installed, you'll have a stand-alone copy of the TIPS Webphone. This application can run separately from the portal so you can close Chrome without interrupting the Webphone's functioning.
You can also launch the Webphone without having to log back into the portal each time.
On Windows you should have a desktop icon to launch the TIPS Web app, or search in the Start menu.
On Mac OS the TIPS Web application can be found in /Users/<username>/Applications/Chrome Apps/.
