## Description

The **Cisco Phone Controller** Chrome extension empowers Cisco Collaboration Administrators by embedding a remote phone control app directly on the Cisco phone's internal web page. After enabling the phone’s "Web Access" and assigning the phone to your controlled devices list, you can visit the phone's IP using Firefox and seamlessly control the device via an intuitive interface.

Features include pressing keypad buttons to navigate menus, using command buttons for volume and navigation, dialing numbers remotely, scripting keypress actions, and interacting with the phone screenshot to activate lines and softkeys. The extension renders live phone screenshots and authenticates via HTTP Basic Authentication, ensuring secure and authorized remote control. Although support varies by phone model, this tool simplifies troubleshooting and managing Cisco phones from your browser.
