Setting Up DialPad

Before we start: We need to determine if our operating system on our computer is 32 or 64 bits.

On your Windows computer, open the Start Menu:

1. Click on the Start button (Windows logo) in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

  • Open Settings:
    • Click on the gear icon to open the Settings app.
  • Go to System:
    • In the Settings window, click on "System."
  • Open About:
    • In the left-hand menu, scroll down and click on "About."
  • Check System Type:
    • In the "Device specifications" section, look for "System type."
      • It will show either "64-bit operating system" or "32-bit operating system. (see image below)
  • You will need to remember which size bit you have for the next step.
    Example 1
    Example 2
    Example 3
    Example 4

    Step 1: Go to the DialPad website and download the Windows application with the correct bit size

    Click on this link: https://www.dialpad.com/download/ and download the Dialpad app to your desktop

    VERY IMPORTANT: If you have 32 bits then choose that or if you have 64 bits, choose that.

    Step 2: Log in to our DialPad account on the Desktop app, NOT in Chrome.

    Once you have downloaded Dialpad on to your computer, please log in to your dialpad account with the login credentials found in your dashboard. They can be found in the section below.

    Step 3: Next, only after you have logged in to the DailPad Web App, please visit the Chrome Web Store and download the Dialpad Chrome extension.

    You HAVE to be using Google Chrome browser. You also HAVE to use the exact same Chrome profile each time you call because the Chrome extension is linked to a specific Chrome profile.

    Step 5: Next, click on the extensions button and click the pin needle next to the Dialpad Extension.
