Before you start

  • A microphone: the computer’s, or better, a headset.
  • A stable Internet connection.

Step by step

6 steps, about 2 min
  1. 1

    Plug in your headset

    10 s

    Plug it in before the call. With a headset, the customer’s voice doesn’t come back through your speakers: no echo.

  2. 2

    Open the audio devices

    10 s

    At the bottom of the left sidebar, next to the language, click the headset icon, Audio device. The Audio devices menu opens.

    Left sidebar/Audio device

    Open this screen in Callizy
  3. 3

    Allow the microphone

    20 s

    The menu shows Allow microphone? Click it, then accept the browser’s prompt. Without this permission, the other person can’t hear you.

  4. 4

    Choose the microphone and the speaker

    20 s

    Under Microphone, pick your headset’s; under Speaker, where the sound goes. Just plugged in a device? The Refresh button reloads the list.

  5. 5

    During the call

    10 s

    Mute: the customer can no longer hear you; Unmute turns it back on. Nobody can hear you? Check this button first.

  6. 6

    In the app

    10 s

    During a call, the sound button sends the voice to the speaker, the headphones or a Bluetooth device. On Android, it opens Audio output.

Key points

  • The microphone and the speaker are chosen in Audio devices, at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  • The browser must be allowed to use the microphone.
  • A headset plugged in before the call gives the best sound.

Callizy shows “No speaker detected”
  1. Some browsers don’t let you pick the speaker: the sound then plays through the computer’s audio output.
The sound cuts out or crackles
  1. Check your Internet connection: weak Wi-Fi cuts the voice.
  2. Stop videos and big downloads during the call.
  3. The banner says “Reconnecting the phone…”? Callizy is reconnecting: wait a few seconds.
The customer hears an echo
  1. Use a headset: your speakers send the customer’s voice back into your microphone.
