#### **My headset is not listed, does it still work?**

Voice transmission will work with any headset.\
For the headset buttons / base buttons for answering/rejecting calls and holding, there may be limitations in some cases. In this case, users can then answer the call via the app + mouse click.\
If the headset buttons work or do not work with a specific headset model, we are happy to update the list. You are welcome to contact us via the [contact form](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/requests/new?ticket_form_id=55321&_gl=1*t9ijn9*_gcl_au*MjA0NTg3NzM0NC4xNzU3MDU1MzY5#anfrage) on our website.

#### **My headset buttons do not work, how can this be changed?**

You can report the adjustment for button support for headset manufacturer + model here

<https://feedback.sipgate.de/b/app>\
We then collect the demand and check how we can adapt button support from the current HID to the respective manufacturer protocol.
