Download ShiftWhat is Voxer?
Voxer lets you use push-to-talk (PTT) voice alongside recorded voice, text, photos, video, GIFs, and location in a single conversation stream. It runs on iOS, Android, and the web and works over cellular networks or Wi‑Fi.
Voxer supports one-to-one chats and groups up to 500 participants, Walkie Talkie Mode for live two-way voice, headset integrations, and voice-to-text transcription on paid plans. It offers Personal (free), Pro, and Business/Enterprise tiers. Paid plans add message retention, message recall, enhanced security, and integrations like Dropbox and Zapier. The web and mobile clients mix real-time voice with searchable history for on-the-go coordination, incident updates, and rapid handoffs. Voxer can sit alongside your existing chat and project tools to centralize voice-first communication without replacing them.
How Voxer works in Shift
When you add Voxer to Shift, you bring voice-first messaging into a single, persistent workspace so you can manage conversations without tab clutter. You can keep multiple Voxer accounts signed in simultaneously, preserving session state and notifications.
Create a dedicated Voxer workspace that groups the web client with related email threads, maps, scheduling tools, and file links to reduce context switching. Use side-by-side layouts to view live PTT streams and reference documents, pin Voxer for daily check-ins or shift handovers, and rely on Smart Links and the One-Window layout to prevent duplicate tabs and restore full sessions so walkie-talkie mode, history, and transcriptions remain available. The result is a smoother flow for field dispatch, retail floor coordination, or any workflow that needs fast voice updates and reliable multi-account access.
