Click Arrow  to hide options.

Note: If configured, the call controls in the client and the order in which they appear could differ in the Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework or Genesys Cloud for Salesforce. For more information, see settings (Genesys Cloud Developer Center) and Configure call controls.
