Vonage Companion is completely customizable for your needs!

The main interface window consists of two sections: Call panel and Contacts & History panel. Leave them open or choose to hide one or both—you decide what works best for you! You can also minimize the Vonage Companion window and still receive calls!

You can still receive calls when Vonage Companion is hidden or minimized.

If you exit when Vonage Companion is minimized or in Deskbar mode, Vonage Companion will start next time as minimized or in Deskbar mode.
