Windows 10 - Softphone not connecting

How do I add a soft phone for Windows 10? I have an actual phone on my desk and the desktop app on my computer and want to have both be able to dial out and receive calls. It was working fine and now I can't dial out from the desktop app as it says I do not have a softphone.

Tiffany - Can you clarify. You said you have "the desktop app on my computer", then you ask how to "add a softphone for Windows 10"? 
Are you only getting the "ringout" option? If so, deauthorize the desktop app, logout, then log back in.

Sorry, I have the desktop app and then I have a physical phone on my actual desk. What I need to have is the ability to have both ring when calls come in, as well as the option to dial out on both. When the actual phone is connected my desktop app shows as though I do not have a digital line and will not allow me to call out. The person at ring central said it had to do with Windows 10 but they are unsure how to fix it.

  • What kind of account do you have?
  • To have both the desktop app and the deskphone ring at once, set your Desktop App & Smartphone to 0 seconds under Call Handling. 
  • To make outbound calls as Direct Dial, your softphone needs to be registered to the Desktop App.

I have one extension. We had it connected to the handphone and then it wouldn't let me make calls from the desktop app so we just had the ring central customer support switch it back to just the desktop

I recommending putting the hardphone on your extension - assigned to the DL. Then you get the Desktop App free with it.  
See here for How do I swap out a phone?   Swap out the Desktop App for the hardphone - deauthorize & logout of the desktop app - the log back in.   It should then look like this: 

The Phone Number will be assigned to the Serial Number (Hardphone) then the softphone will be free. 




Let me know if you need help!

When I swap my desktop phone for my app as the main line I cannot add the ring central app for my computer as a line. See the picture where I don't have the select button.

I know we were disconnected - that's okay.  Let your phone re-boot.  Logout and close the desktop app - then re-launch it and I'll call you back

So far your Digital Line is assigned to your Desktop App, not your Hardphone. Do you have two extensions?  What is the last 4 digits of the Serial Number? Currently there is no hardphone on your ext.
