Test your WebRTC phone settings

Note: This article applies to Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework, Genesys Cloud for Chrome, Genesys Cloud for Firefox, Genesys Cloud for Microsoft Teams, Genesys Cloud for Salesforce, and Genesys Cloud for Zendesk.

You can test the settings for your WebRTC phone at the following times:

To test your speakers (Chrome browser users only), click the blue speaker icon. If you use the WebRTC Phone window, then test your speakers in the window. For more information, see Browser window for WebRTC phones.

If you hear test tones, then your speakers are working properly. If you do not hear test tones or you encounter other problems, then click Test Settings to check for issues. The client checks for microphone, connectivity, and network throughput issues.

Note: Chrome browser users can select their microphone and speakers. (See image.) Firefox browser users can only select their microphone.
