# Open your browser. Make the call.

Place an outbound call from the Bird dashboard using an eligible SIP trunk. Choose your audio devices and use the keypad during the conversation.

## The phone in your browser. The trunk behind it.

Preview the call state and try the in-call keypad.

## Prepare the trunk. Keep the session clear.

Make a call directly from the dashboard.

### Meet the calling requirements.

Enable outbound calling and session credentials on the trunk. The browser phone needs MD5 Digest support, voice write permission, a verified caller ID, an enabled destination and microphone permission.

### Use the right audio device.

Choose an available microphone and output device. Speaker selection depends on browser support. Short-lived session credentials connect the phone without placing a long-lived key in the browser.

### Know the current calling scope.

The phone supports outbound calls and DTMF. It does not provide inbound ringing, hold, transfer or emergency calling. Reloading can rejoin an answered call, but not a call still ringing.
