If you're attending an event in Brella and the sound of the session is not working, this can be for a few reasons. To fix it, follow the steps below:
- Check the video or live session bottom bar and make sure your sound icon is activated.
- Go to the top search bar of your browser, click on the lock icon and make sure the sound is allowed.
- Check the sound settings on your computer if the Sound still does not work.
Activate Sound Settings on Browser - Way 2
1. Go to your sound settings on your browser (this example is from Chrome)
2. Navigate to Site Settings from the URL bar and check that sound is Allowed or Automatic, but not blocked.
What to do when watching multiple streams?
Watch a stream at a time to avoid audio issues. We suggest muting tabs that are not being actively watched. You can mute tabs on your browser Google Chrome in two ways.
- Option 1: Right-click on the tab you want to mute and select Mute site.
- Option 2: Navigate to the lock icon on the browser field and click on the Sound category and select Mute.
Great job! Now you can successfully troubleshoot the sound settings on Brella.
