The Vonage Desktop App is the central hub for the Vonage Business Communications (VBC) platform. It is designed to replace a traditional desk phone by offering VoIP calling, video conferencing, team messaging, and file sharing from a single interface.

It is a powerful tool for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) but less competitive for enterprises requiring high-end reliability or complex contact center features.
