Setup your Browsers to work with AVOXI

To ensure the best user experience on AVOXI platforms and webphones we recommend you follow the below applicable browser configuration guidelines.  Please note the AVOXI platform works best on Google Chrome but is also compatible with the Firefox and Edge Browser.

Google Chrome Browser

Effective from February 2019 Google’s Chrome browser now blocks auto-playing video with sound on both desktop and mobile. This change while positive may unintentionally block audio from legitimate websites.  

ATTENTION! Before you start, ensure you are using the Google Chrome web browser that supports WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), a browser-based communication protocol to make calls. Next, it's important to upgrade your Google Chrome sound settings to avoid missed calls.
