-The *VoIP* (Voice over Internet Protocol) widget is an add-on made available to Odoo users by
-installing the |VOIP| module. Instead of managing mobile devices for every salesperson, fumbling
-through call transfers for upset customers, or needing a meeting room to handle a conference call,
-utilize the |VoIP| widget to tackle any of these business needs.
-
-Install the VoIP module
-=======================
-
-To use |VOIP|, it must first be :doc:`installed <../../general/apps_modules>`.
-
-Once the module is installed, a :icon:`oi-voip` :guilabel:`(VoIP)` icon will appear at the top of
-the screen. This is where phone calls are made from within Odoo. When this icon is clicked, a |VOIP|
-pop-up widget appears on the screen, and is where emails can be sent, user and employee info can be
-edited, and activities can be managed. While this pop-up widget is open, the user can navigate
-through their Odoo apps.

-
-Sign up for a VoIP service provider
-===================================
-
-While |VOIP| setup is minimal in Odoo, all mapping happens in the external |VOIP| service provider.
-Two verified providers are :doc:`OnSIP <onsip>` and :doc:`Axivox <axivox>`. If these providers
-cannot be used, an alternate provider must meet these requirements to connect with Odoo:
-
-- |VOIP| host must provide access to a SIP server via a websocket connection
-- |VOIP| host must support WebRTC protocol
-
-To add the credentials for the alternate provider, go to the **Settings** app and search for `VoIP`.
-In the :guilabel:`Integrations` section under :guilabel:`VoIP`, click :guilabel:`Manage Providers`.
-And then, click :guilabel:`New` and enter the requested information (like the websocket's URL). Note
-that the :guilabel:`OnSIP Domain` field is where the domain created by the alternate provider goes.
-
-If any issues with the |VOIP| service provider are encountered, then reach out to their support
-team. If any issues when setting up the |VOIP| service provider are encountered in Odoo, then follow
-the :ref:`relevant troubleshooting steps <voip/voip_widget/troubleshooting_voip>`.
-
-.. warning::
-   Odoo **cannot** verify that every alternate provider is compatible with Odoo's systems. However,
-   if the above requirements are met, then no issues should be found.
-
-Make a phone call with VoIP
-===========================
-
-One of the primary purposes of |VOIP| is to make phone calls without needing a phone. Here are the
-three ways to make a phone call in the Odoo database:
-
-- Click the :icon:`oi-voip` :guilabel:`(VoIP)` icon, located in the top-right of the navigation bar.
-  Then, enter the phone number to be called by clicking the :icon:`fa-keyboard-o`
-  :guilabel:`(keyboard)` icon, and then entering the phone number to be called.
-
-   - To return to the widget's home page, click the :icon:`fa-keyboard-o` :guilabel:`(keyboard)`
-     icon again.
-
-- Click the :icon:`oi-voip` :guilabel:`(VoIP)` icon, located in the top-right of the navigation bar.
-  Then, click the :icon:`fa-phone` :guilabel:`(phone)` icon to redial the last called contact.
-- Click the :icon:`oi-voip` :guilabel:`(VoIP)` icon, located in the top-right of the navigation bar.
-  Then, search for a specific contact's name or go to the :guilabel:`Contacts` tab. Then, select the
-  contact and click the :icon:`fa-phone` :guilabel:`(phone)` icon.
-
-When receiving calls in Odoo, the |VOIP| widget rings, and displays a notification. To close the
-widget, click the :icon:`oi-close` :guilabel:`(close)` icon in the upper-right of the widget's
-screen.
-
-.. note::
-   The :abbr:`VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)` number is the one provided by Axivox. It can be
-   accessed by navigating to `https://manage.axivox.com/ <https://manage.axivox.com/>`_. After
-   logging into the portal, go to :menuselection:`Users --> Outgoing number` (column).
-
-Send an email through the VoIP widget
-=====================================
-
-While phone calls are handled through the |VOIP| widget, emails can also be sent through it. This is
-helpful for sending follow-up emails to the call participants, emailing a question to a coworker, or
-reminding a vendor to send over some components during a check-in call.
-
-To send an email through the |VOIP| widget, click the :icon:`oi-voip` :guilabel:`(VoIP)` icon,
-located in the top navigation bar. When this is clicked, the |VOIP| widget will appear in the
-bottom-right corner of the page. Then, search for a contact to email or find them in the
-:guilabel:`Contacts` tab of the |VOIP| widget. Next, click the :icon:`fa-envelope-o`
-:guilabel:`(envelope)` icon, and then select the email recipients, enter the email's subject line,
-and write the email. When it is ready to be sent, click :guilabel:`Send`. To schedule an email to
-send later, click the :icon:`fa-caret-down` :guilabel:`(dropdown)` icon next to :guilabel:`Send`,
-click :guilabel:`Send Later`, pick the scheduled time, and click :guilabel:`Schedule`.
