Improvements and Bug Fixes
Simultaneous Login on Multiple Devices (Multi-Client Login)
The Virtual-Call UC Client now supports simultaneous login on multiple devices. A single extension can remain logged in across different platforms at the same time—mobile app, desktop client, web client, and IP phone. The maximum number of concurrent logins per platform can be configured (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > User > Extension Information).
Note:
For simultaneous login on multiple devices, the UC Clients must meet the following minimum versions:
- Desktop Client: Version 1.21.2 or higher
- Mobile Client: Version 5.24.13 (iOS) / 5.24.7 (Android) or higher
Additionally, super admins can now view and manage all logged-in UC Client devices of an extension—including remarks and remote logout (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > UC Clients > Currently Logged-in Devices).
Import Extension Data
Extension information can now be updated via file import (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > Import). If an extension number already exists in the system, its settings will be automatically updated with the data from the file.
This feature is only available to Super Admins.
AI Features—New Menu and Transcription Subscriptions
The built-in AI features (Text-to-Speech, Call Transcription, and Voicemail Transcription) have been moved from the previous Integrations menu to a new location: AI > AI Toolbox.
Additionally, add-on subscriptions for expanding the AI transcription quota are now available (Path: Plan > Add-on Subscription):
| Subscription | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Transcription (One-Time Capacity) | One-time minute package for transcription. Each pack includes 500 minutes. |
| AI Transcription (Monthly Quota Pack) | Monthly minute package for transcription. Unused minutes expire at the end of the month. |
The PBX provides free one-time minutes for AI transcription (120 minutes for Enterprise Plan, 240 minutes for the Ultimate Plan). Additional minutes can be added as needed. Please contact Virtual-Call for activation.

Speed Dial—New Remark Field

Time Conditions—More Time Periods
The maximum number of custom business hours and time periods has been increased from 10 to 20. This affects the following features:

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) Integration
-
The integration process has been simplified: setup can now be initiated directly from the PBX—only a Microsoft account login for permission consent is required. The PBX automatically creates the required application in Microsoft Entra ID without manual configuration.
Note:
Existing integrations using the previous method will continue to work without interruption. -
New configuration option User Avatar Synchronization: When enabled, user avatars are synced from Microsoft to the PBX extensions.
- Contact synchronization with Outlook has also been simplified—it now only requires configuration on the PBX, without additional permission setup in Microsoft.
