Phone Not Working

Call Not Working?

Try these in order:

  1. Click Allow when browser asks for microphone
  2. Refresh the page (F5)
  3. Try a different browser (Chrome works best)

Still broken? Use text or email instead, then call support.


Problem: Call Won't Start

You click Call but nothing happens.

Fix 1: Allow Microphone

Your browser needs microphone permission.

  1. Look for a popup asking for microphone access
  2. Click Allow
  3. If no popup, click the lock/camera icon in the address bar
  4. Find microphone settings and allow

Fix 2: Refresh the Page

Press F5 (or Cmd+R on Mac) and try again.

Fix 3: Try Chrome

Chrome works best with HumanForce. If you're using another browser:

  1. Open Chrome
  2. Go to HumanForce
  3. Log in and try calling

Problem: Call Drops Immediately

Call connects but drops after a few seconds.

CauseSolution
Bad internetCheck your connection
Customer declinedTry calling again
Invalid numberTry text or email
Network issueWait a moment, try again

Problem: Customer Can't Hear Me

  1. Check microphone is not muted - Look for mute button in call interface
  2. Check correct microphone selected - Browser may be using wrong mic
  3. Test your mic - Record yourself in another app to verify it works
  4. Try headset - Plug in a headset and try again

Problem: I Can't Hear Customer

  1. Check your volume - Is it turned up?
  2. Check speakers/headset - Are they connected?
  3. Check browser volume - Some browsers have separate volume controls
  4. Refresh and try again

Problem: Audio Quality is Bad

  • Use a headset - Much better than laptop speakers
  • Close other tabs - Video streaming uses bandwidth
  • Move closer to router - Stronger WiFi signal
  • Use wired connection - If possible, ethernet is more stable

Quick Workaround

If calls just won't work:

  1. Send a text message to the customer instead
  2. Send an email with your info
  3. Add a note explaining the technical issue
  4. Call support to report the problem

Don't let a technical issue stop you from helping the customer!
