Set VS Connect as Default Dialer

Make every click-to-dial open in VS Connect. Setting VS Connect as your default dialer ensures callto:, sip:, and tel: links open in the same app, whether you click a number in your browser, CRM, or a desktop document. You get fewer prompts, consistent behavior, and faster calling. Choose your Windows version below and set VS Connect as the default.
