How can I permanently set permissions for the sipgate app in the browser in Safari?

Save Safari permissions for the sipgate app permanently – set up microphone and notifications.

Problem

When using the sipgate app in the Safari browser, Safari asks again each time it is opened for permission to use the microphone and notifications. This can be annoying and can mean that calls are not answered if permission is not granted in time.

Solution

In the Safari settings, you can permanently set the permissions. This will automatically load the sipgate app with microphone and notification access - without repeated prompts.

Set up permanent microphone permission

Without microphone access, no calls can be made through the app. Here's how to permanently set up access:

1. Open Safari.

2. Click at the top left in the menu bar on Safari ➔ settings.

3. Switch to the tab Websites.

4. Select in the left sidebar Microphone.

5. Look for the entry in the list workspace.sipgate.com.

**Note:** If the website is not displayed, open it once in Safari and allow microphone access there. It will then appear in the list.

6. Select to the right of the entry Allow .
