Setting up Unifi Talk without Touch device

I recently came across the issue that I wanted to setup Unifi Talk but I didn't want to buy a talk device just to set it up (this was the recommended way from Unifi)

For Unifi Talk 4.2.4 its a little more difficult but still possible:

Go to your Unifi Talk setup page and press right mouse button -> Inspect
Go to Network tab in Dev Tools
Search for index-

Reload the page
On the new item that just popped up right click and select "Override content"
It wants you to select a folder so select a empty folder on your pc
In the file editor hit Ctrl + F
Search for internalToolingEnabled: !1
Replace it with internalToolingEnabled: 1
Reload the page

Now you should be able to press the next button even with no devices!

Old solution

So I began investigating the code and found out that if you press 10 times on the "Setup Device(s)" text you'll be able to skip the device step.

Neither the override content nor the 10 clicking worked for me for some reason on 4.2.4, but, I used the icon to select an element to inspect and selected the NEXT button, expanded the div element and noticed the button element inside has a disabled attribute, removed it and reloaded the page and voila! was able to complete setup without issues...
