# Click-to-call

> Set Quo, formerly OpenPhone, as your default calling app to dial phone numbers directly from websites, emails, and other applications

## Overview

Click-to-call functionality lets you dial phone numbers directly from websites, emails, and other applications without copying and pasting. Set Quo as your default calling app to streamline your calling workflow and improve productivity.

<Note>
  Click-to-call requires the Quo desktop app for Windows and Mac, or mobile app for Android. Web browser alone doesn't support default calling app functionality.
