Multiple Calls

When more than one call is in progress at the same extension, the Preview windows are now stacked with the active call always at the front.

The hidden call is simply selected by clicking its header box (behind the active call).

Positioning

The Preview window can be re-positioned in any screen quarter and this position will be retained. Please note this is a fixed position in each quarter. To do this, click and hold anywhere along the Preview window's header bar then drag and drop the the mouse cursor into the screen quarter where the window should appear. The Preview window will initially sit exactly where it was dropped until it fades out but will reappear in the appropriate corner of the given screen quarter from thereon.
