How to ... Install a Google Gadget
This tutorial will step you through the process of adding a Cisco UC gadget onto your Gmail page. Afterwards, you will be able to make and receive calls for people registered in the CUCM directory while you are on Gmail. The Cisco UC gadget brings Cisco telephony to Google Apps users with the help of the Cisco Jabber SDK. The gadget is made up of purely HTML and JavaScript, and uses the Cisco Web Communicator native browser plugin for media and call control (SIP) via CUCM.
You can easily integrate this onto Google Mail, Calendar, and Start pages.
*Please note: You must have your CUCM setup before starting the following procedures. This currently does not work in Firefox with 64-bit computers. This gadet does not function properly in IE browsers. We highly suggest you test this in Chrome or Firefox.
A YouTube video video is also available, showing how to install the gadget.
We have hosted the gadget definition file (XML format) here on our site so that any Gmail account can access it.
Some basic requirements before proceeding are:
• Basic knowledge of JavaScript and HTML
• Basic knowledge of Google Gadgets

You can type in contact names and the gadget shows a maximum of 5 suggestions. The gadget searches for screen, first, last or display names.

The remote participant name (or number) along with the call duration are displayed in the gadget title so they remain visible when the gadget is collapsed.

Desktop notification
About
The user can clear his preferences (CUCM user name and address) from the GMail server by clicking the 'clear preferences' link.
Troubleshooting
TFTP fetch error
The Web Communicator downloads configuration from CUCM through HTTP (port 6970) TFTP (port 69). Check your local firewall does not block TFTP.
In case TFTP is blocked, allow the browser application in the firewall, or turn it off.
GMail broken
In case the gadget breaks your GMail page, you can disable Labs by signing in from https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
