How can the new RingCentral app be forced to launch at startup? I don't see the toggle switch (that is available in RingCentral Phone) in this new app. Thank you.

Thanks, Jeff. I agree - this feature should be added.

Somehow the development team forgot to include that option. Other users have suggested putting a shortcut to the app in your StartUp folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp).

The lack of the launch on startup toggle was noted during early beta testing so it's difficult to understand why that omission would not have been quickly fixed. Asking users to put shortcuts in their StartUp folder is not an option for enterprises.
