# How do I set up the chrome extension in the sipgate app?

With the free Google Chrome extension, you can call any phone number directly from websites, emails, or connected CRM systems with a simple click from your sipgate app.

Note: The Chrome extension can only be used in the Desktop App.

* You'll be redirected to the **Chrome Web Store**. Click **Add**.
* Confirm the installation by clicking **Add Extension**.

Exception: sipgate.AppImage on Linux

Since the sipgate app is only launched as an application, the Click2Dial feature using tel links doesn't work. Install the sipgate app via [AppImage Launcher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher). Afterward, you can highlight numbers in Chrome, right-click and select **Call with sipgate** or click on phone numbers linked as tel:.

**Issue: The displayed phone number gets extended with 20 and is unreachable when called**

Note: Phone numbers can be displayed with spaces as per [**RFC 3966 5.1.1.**](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3966) **Separators in Phone Numbers.** However, the tel link itself must not contain spaces ("tel" URIs MUST NOT use spaces).

Check: Hover over the linked number with your mouse and verify whether it's linked as tel:+44xxxx or tel:+49 xxx xxx.

#### Google sheets phone number calling issue

* **Cause:** Google Sheets interprets =+ as a formula, not a phone number (e.g., =+44800...).
* **Workaround:** Save the link as ="+448003301000", then double-click the phone number and click on the sipgate logo.
