Installing GoToConnect on Your Computer

Dartmouth's software-based phone is called "GoToConnect". There is a version you can install on computer (GoToConnect Desktop) and another version that can be installed on smart phones (GoToConnect Mobile). GoToConnect Desktop can be installed on either Macintosh or Windows computers. Linux users needing a software-based phone would need to use the phone web portal.
