3CX Update 6 Final is out – with new 3CX WebRTC softphone!

The latest V15.5 Update – 6 – has gone gold. And it’s an important one. Not only does it come with many new features & improvements but it also has updated SSL certificates that are required.

3CX Web Based Softphone

Now you can make phone calls right from your browser without even installing a softphone. Update 6 integrates a WebRTC softphone in the webclient.

As this feature is still in beta, it needs to be enabled from the management console. You can do this from Settings > PBX > General > Enable WebRTC softphone in Web Client. The web client will then have an additional phone option under the phone icon in the top right corner, as shown below.

SSL Security Updates

In the next month we will be updating the security certificates on our servers, required for secure communication with 3CX. This means that you will need to go to update 6 as soon as possible. We continue to add many security features under the hood to ensure safe operation of the PBX and secure communications.
