FluentCloud WebPhone
Make Work Phone Calls Using Your Work Phone Number (From Home!)
This page is part of a series of "remote learning" and "remote working" pages being maintained by Professional Learning Technology. Please visit our Remote Learning/Working page for more resources.
This page is intended to help you set up the FluentCloud WebPhone Google Chrome extension on your home or work computer, to assist you with making work phone calls that come from your work phone number. The purpose of this is to keep your own personal information private, allow parents/students to call you back on your work number (not your personal number), and keep that personal boundary between work and home.
Using FluentCloud Phone From Home.webmThere are many more features to FluentCloud than are shared in this video. This is just to get you set up. You may want to do some test calls to your own phone number before trying this out with any parents/students.
One last note - after installing this on my home computer, I had a hard time finding the app again. The best way I could find to run the app again was to type "chrome://apps" into the address bar of my Chrome Browser. The address bar is the top bar where you type in web addresses you want to go to and Google searches.
If that doesn't work, go back to the Google Chrome Extension Store page and click "Launch App."
Once you are ready to install, head to the Google Chrome Extension Store page.
