Begin with setup and a first call, then choose the task you want to learn. Shared mobile app steps are recorded on Android and apply to the same iPhone interface. Android system permission and sharing screens are labelled where they differ from iPhone.

What to expect

Each episode covers one task, usually in under two minutes. Each video explains any premium features or service support needed for the task.

The standalone series uses manual SIP account setup with details from your phone service provider. SessionCloud provisioning, whitelabel administration and SessionPBX will have separate series later. For the current SessionPBX written guides, see the SessionPBX overview.

For topics still being recorded, use the desktop guides and mobile guides.
