Launching Movi calls from other applications
Movi will install itself as the default SIP protocol handler on the operating system. As long as Movi
remains the default SIP client, activating any SIP URI link will launch a call from Movi.
It is also possible to use "movi:" as the protocol rather than "sip:". This will ensure that Movi is always
used even if another SIP client is the system default.
Testing the protocol handler
1. Have the latest version of Cisco TelePresence Movi installed
2. Open a web browser (or a keyboard launch application such as Quicksilver or Launchy).
3. In the input (URL) field, type a SIP URI, then hit
Enter
.
Movi will now open and launch a call to the URI provided.
Note:
Adding "//" after the "movi:" and "sip:" protocols is not supported by the Movi protocol handler.
Use cases
n

n
Embed SIP URI links in intranet employee profiles, helpdesk contact pages, and similar.
n
