# How do I set the sipgate app as default for calls?

When you try to call a phone number in your browser or use Click-to-Dial on iOS or Windows, typically FaceTime or another phone app will open. If you want to make calls with the sipgate app instead, you can set it as the default app for calls.

#### Setting up for iOS

* Open FaceTime on your Mac.
* Then, click on **FaceTime** in the top menu bar and select **Settings**
* Scroll down and under **Default for Calls**, select sipgate.

#### Setting up for Windows

* Open the **Settings**.
* Go to **Default Apps** and then select **Default Apps by Protocol**.
* In the left menu, look for **TEL** or **URL:tel.**
* There, you can set the sipgate app as the default app for calls.

#### Errors and Solutions

To set the sipgate app as the default app for TEL (Click2Dial):\
**Windows 11**: Go to Default Apps ➔ Choose Defaults by Link Type ➔ \[Tel: sipgate App]\
**Windows 11 22H2**: If the sipgate app cannot be selected:

* Exit the sipgate app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/use-sipgate/sipgate-app/how-do-i-set-the-sipgate-app-as-default-for-calls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
