How Genesys Softphone works
Genesys Softphone is a standalone SIP endpoint installable. That means it takes on the role of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Endpoint, the target of a SIP call, and call control. With Genesys Softphone, agents can make and receive calls from their workstation instead of through a hard phone.

Genesys Softphone is a standalone SIP endpoint. It supports different dialing modes, third-party call control, SSO, a variety of voice codecs, and WebRTC. It can be deployed in either standalone or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments.
