Embedded widget dropps call on page reload

I'm trying to find out why the embedded widget drops a call when the page reloads. We have the code to load the widget via JavaScript in the footer. So, when the user is navigating on the site, that footer will reload with each page request. Why is that dropping the call that was active on the widget prior to the refresh?

I'm wondering if it has to do with this?


It was browser before when it seemed to drop the call. Should this be something else?

I think that it is the limitation of the embeddable. When you reload the page, the JavaScript will be reloaded and the embeddable is launched again. The embeddable instance was killed when the page was unload.

hi @Ram Sher, @Don Kitchen, In calling mode 'Browser', calls are on Browser web page based on JS. So when reloaded web page, it will clean all JS instances including calls. In calling mode RingCentral for Desktop, calls are on RingCentral Phone desktop app, so calls will be ongoing when you refresh web page.

To keep calls on Browser mode, we can make the widget as a standalone popup page.
