Install Cisco Jabber for MAC Desktop/Laptop

With your computer — and an Internet connection — you can use jabber as your TTSD classroom or office phone including making and receiving calls from your TTSD phone number, checking and deleting voice mails, and conference calling or chatting with your colleagues.

If you already have Jabber installed and are here looking for details on setting up and using all the features see the Cisco Jabber Documentation page.

Summary of Features

Softphone — use your computer as your TTSD telephone, including placing, receiving, and forwarding calls.
Chat — instant message with other Jabber users, individually or in group chats.
Video Calls — place ad hoc video calls when in a chat or softphone conversation with your colleagues, just like your desk phone’s video feature.
Contact lists — create contact lists of those you collaborate with most often, including an easy-to-use contact search feature.
Search Phone Directory – Instead of relying on a paper telephone list, you can simply search for staff or business office phone extension.
Presence — set your availability so others see whether you are available for a chat or call; see the availability of others.
