We've used images from VoIPstudio as an example in the next steps. If you are unable to find these settings in your SIP panel in case you use a different service, please contact your SIP service support to verify how to do the same steps inside your panel.

1. On your SIP provider panel, go the Users area and create a new user so that you have a SIP Domain, Username and Password for connecting to our service.

If you already have a user account in your SIP settings, you can choose to use the existing one or create a new one.

2. Go to your SIP phone number settings and redirect all calls to the user you created, or to a pre-existing one in case you already had an existing user, by selecting the user as the "Current Target" of the phone number.

3. Access the phone number "settings" in JivoChat app in «Manage» -> «Channels»:

4. Insert your user's SIP credentials and click on "Save" to connect the incoming calls to JivoChat.

Done! Now you're all set to receive and make calls using JivoChat.
