Troubleshooting Browser Calls

Fix common Phone page problems - microphone permission, a disabled Call button, calls that fail on office or mobile networks, no audio, and why incoming calls don't ring in the browser.

The Call button is disabled#

The hint under the button names the reason. The common ones:

Reason Fix
No microphone access Allow the microphone in the browser's site settings (the lock icon in the address bar), then reload
No caller ID Buy a number, finish KYC, or ask your admin to grant you one. See Caller ID and team access
Not enough balance Add credit on Billing
Number not valid Check the digits. Only Indian numbers can be called while international calling is off

The call fails straight away#

The error message carries an action:

  • Add credit: the wallet can't cover the call.
  • Complete KYC: outbound calls need approved KYC.
  • Calling disabled: an admin has turned off calling for you or the workspace in Calling settings.
  • Network error, Try again: the browser could not reach the call server. See the next section.

A busy, unanswered or wrong number is shown as a neutral notice; nothing needs fixing on your side.

Calls fail or drop on some networks#

Browser calls need the network to allow real-time audio. Some office firewalls, VPNs and mobile hotspots block it.

  • Try another network (home broadband or a different Wi-Fi) to confirm the network is the cause.
  • Turn off a VPN for the call.
  • On an office network, ask IT to allow outbound WebRTC traffic for voice-app.edesy.in.
  • Watch the call-quality hint during the call. Reconnecting means the audio path dropped and the browser is trying to restore it.

I can't hear the other person, or they can't hear me#

  • Check the microphone and speaker choice under the Phone page's audio settings. Speaker selection works only in browsers that support it (Chrome and Edge).
  • Make sure no other app (a video meeting, for example) is holding the microphone.
  • Unplug and re-plug a USB or Bluetooth headset, then reload the page.

Incoming calls don't ring in the browser#

That's expected. The Phone page is for outbound calls. Calls to your numbers follow each number's inbound route: forward them to mobiles, play an IVR, hand them to an AI voice agent, or ring browser agents in the cloud contact center. See Inbound routing.

The call ended when I switched pages#

It shouldn't: the call bar keeps the call up across dashboard pages. A call ends if you close or reload the tab, or open the Phone page in a second tab, because only one tab holds the phone.

Still stuck#

Raise a ticket from Help & support in the dashboard header. Include the number you called and the time of the call so support can find it.
