What is Google Voice?
Google Voice is a dialer service provided by Google. It simplifies calls by offering features such as virtual numbers, messaging, and voicemail transcription. It's a versatile tool for both personal and business use to streamline your phone interactions.
How to connect Streak with Google Voice
Setting up Google Voice
Navigate to Google Voice and sign in to your account (this should be the same account you use with Streak).
If you’re on the website for the first time, you can enable notifications by clicking on the Allow button. You can also configure this anytime by clicking on the lock icon.
3. To set Google Voice as your default dialer for Chrome, click on the Register now button. If the banner doesn't appear for you, click on this link to force the banner to appear.
4. Another pop-up will appear at the top left of the window. Click on the Allow button.
5. Double-check that Google Voice is set as the default at chrome://settings/handlers (this can be pasted directly in your browser as a URL). If it’s not set as the default under the tel section, you can click on the 3-dot menu to make it the default.
