With Update 1, 3CX V18 is now ready to be installed on Windows operating systems.

With Update 1, 3CX V18 is now ready to be installed on Windows operating systems. Companies running 3CX on Windows can benefit from improved audio quality, reliability and upgraded performance. Update 1 also comes with improvements to MS Teams integration and support for Yealink Headsets.

Professional headsets at half the price

Yealink Headsets

Use Yealink headsets to attend to your calls. Available with the Web Client and Desktop App, the integration allows you to answer and reject calls, place on mute or hold, as well as switch between lines directly from the headset.

Improvements to MS Teams integration

Following numerous installations of MS Teams with 3CX, we have improved the integration further by developing new features and tweaking existing ones. With Update 1, when a Teams user rejects a call, the 3CX Forwarding Rules for that user are applied.

3CX Video Conference REST API

Use the 3CX Video Conferencing REST API to create, manage or delete meetings from 3rd party applications such as ClickUp and MS Teams. This will enable you to integrate 3CX Video Conferencing better into your day to day workflow. Read the API documentation.
