3CX V18 Desktop App account switching - can't find it

[Chris Walters]

Is there any way to switch between accounts in the v18 Desktop App without logging into the webclient and using the provision link every time you want to swap accounts?

I have about 60 different accounts on my old 3CX Windows Phone that I use to register to all my clients to test/troubleshoot.

Is this feature coming to the v18 Desktop app? Is it already there and I just can't find it?

Thanks!

I don't think the new DesktopApp will ever get this. But nothing prevents you from using the old client for this. It still works.

Except they have stated on multiple occasions that the 3CX Windows Phone is not going to be supported much longer.

The latest I know is that it will be supported as long as some integrations are Client-side, like DATEV or Outlook.

Hi @Chris Walters ,

It hasn't really been defined how long the 'legacy' Windows App will be around, but there are no immediate plans to forcefully deprecate this.

My personal assessment is that while it continues to work with each latest 3CX Server version with little to no effort, we will keep it around.
The moment though we may have to go in a different direction for one reason or another, then we shall take it offline as it would stop working anyway.

As regards to having multiple accounts, indeed that is not something that will most likely be coming, because most end-users would never need that.

For you though, you could potentially do this:
