About the Calling Card connection method
The LogMeIn Rescue Calling Card allows for both Channel and Private connections.
When your customers need support, they simply click the Calling Card icon to open your branded Calling Card Applet.
Unlike other connection methods, the Calling Card needs to be installed on the customer's PC before it can be used. It exists as a desktop shortcut or Quick Launch icon, which the customer clicks to launch the pre-installed Calling Card Applet.
The Calling Card can be downloaded as an MSI installer, or on Mac as a .zip file, from your website, or it can be silently deployed by technicians during the first LogMeIn Rescue session with the customer, using the Technician Console.
The Calling Card can be customized in appearance; including text, logos, images, and color schemes. For advanced Calling Card customization options, see Customizing the Calling Card.

Benefits of the Calling Card connection
- Once the Calling Card is installed, it offers an easy, one-click, no-download connection
- Branding allows you to extend your corporate appearance right to the customer’s desktop
- The layout can be dynamically changed, for example to announce special offers and marketing messages
- Each Calling Card is linked to a channel
- Customers may try to connect 24 hours a day, so LogMeIn Rescue Administrators must use 'No Technician Available' settings to deal with connections made outside of business hours
- When customers are initiating session requests, LogMeIn Rescue Administrators must use dynamic channel and team re-routing to control traffic during peak hours
- Web developer and/or graphic design resources may be required for customization and integration
