## Step by step

7 steps, about 3 min.

Screenshots show Callizy in French. Button names are given in English.

### 1. Check your status (10 s)

At the bottom left, under your name: **Available**, with a green dot. It says **Do not disturb**, red dot? Click your name, then turn off the **Do not disturb** switch.

Menu: Your name › Do not disturb

### 2. Check the app and your profile (20 s)

Do not disturb is also set in the app and in **My Profile**, and it applies to your whole account: turned on in the phone app, it also silences the computer. In the app’s settings, it must say **Available**, not **Blocked calls** (iPhone) or **Calls blocked** (Android).

### 3. Keep Callizy open (10 s)

On the web, the phone lives in the Callizy tab: closed, it no longer rings. Only one tab rings at a time; the others show **Tab inactive**. See [“Tab inactive”: take back the phone](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/onglet-inactif).

### 4. Read the banner (10 s)

“The phone is disconnected.”: click **Reconnect**. “Reconnecting the phone…”: Callizy reconnects on its own, wait a few seconds. Nothing rings until the phone is back.

### 5. Check your hours (20 s)

With a personal schedule, you only ring during your hours: see **My personal schedule**, in **My Profile**. Outside the company’s business hours, the call follows the number’s path, often voicemail. See [Do not disturb, call forwarding and personal schedule](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/ne-pas-deranger).

### 6. On the phone, allow Callizy (30 s)

In the phone’s settings, allow notifications and the microphone for Callizy. On Android, Callizy also asks to **See incoming calls**: tap **Allow**, or the call screen won’t show while the phone is locked.

### 7. Test (1 min)

Call the company number from another phone, during business hours. Your colleagues ring but you don’t? Your manager checks the call’s path: see [Choose who answers a number](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/qui-repond).

## Key points

- A call rings on the computer and the phone at the same time: answer wherever you like.
- Do not disturb applies to your whole account: web, iPhone and Android.
- On the web, only the active tab rings, and only while it stays open.

## Not working?

### Callizy shows “Tab inactive”

1. Another Callizy tab took the phone. Click **Resume here**, or go back to the other tab.

### Callizy shows “The phone is disconnected.”

2. Click **Reconnect**. Still nothing? Reload the page.

### Callizy shows “Connection lost”

1. Your computer lost the Internet. Wait for “Connection restored”, then read the phone banner.

2. If the problem continues, email support@callizy.ca.

### Callizy shows “Microphone permission required to answer”

1. On Android, open the phone’s settings and allow the microphone for Callizy.

### Your colleagues ring, but you don’t

1. Check Do not disturb on the web, in **My Profile** and in the app.
2. With a personal schedule, check today’s hours.
3. The flow may send the call to a team you’re not in: ask your manager.

### Nobody rings

1. Check the business hours: see [Set your business hours](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/heures-d-ouverture).
2. A used-up trial also stops incoming calls: see [Manage your subscription and invoices](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/abonnement-factures).

### The phone doesn’t ring when it’s locked

1. Allow notifications for Callizy in the phone’s settings.
2. On Android, also allow full-screen calls: **See incoming calls**, then **Allow**.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do my computer and my phone ring together?

Yes: a call rings on the computer and the phone at the same time. Answer wherever you like.

### Can I get my calls on two phones?

One account goes with one phone. Changing phones? Sign in on the new one: it takes the old one’s place. For a second phone, you need a second account: see [Invite your team and create ring groups](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/inviter-equipe).

### Does Callizy have to stay open on the computer?

Yes: in a browser tab, or in the Mac app. See [Install the app on iPhone, Android and Mac](https://callizy.ca/en/apprendre/installer-les-apps).
