It’s a lightweight desktop app built for speed, stability, and smoother calling. Let’s walk through what it is, how to get it, and how to make the most of it.

What is the Workspace Desktop App?

The Talkdesk Workspace Desktop app is a downloadable version of Talkdesk Workspace that runs directly on your computer - no browser required.

It’s available for:

Pro tips to get the most out of Workspace Desktop App

  1. Use it with the Click-to-Call Extension: To click phone numbers in your browser and launch calls via Talkdesk Express, the Workspace Desktop App must be installed.

  3. Pin it to your dock/taskbar: Keep it one click away - like your favorite playlist or snack drawer.
