:warning: Notes About Device Behavior

Some headsets (especially from Plantronics and Poly) may send extra HOOK_SWITCH signals during certain actions, like connecting or muting. To prevent accidental hangups, we’ve implemented logic to suppress those noisy signals.

However, this means that some devices may require two button presses to hang up.

:test_tube: Compatibility Tips

  • :white_check_mark: Works on USB-connected HID telephony headsets using the Telephony HID usage page.
  • :white_check_mark: Compatible with Windows and macOS in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge).
  • :electric_plug: Ensure your device is connected via USB and not just Bluetooth.
  • :gear: Allow HID access when prompted by your browser.
