Calls

You can use Bria to place and receive audio and video calls, as well as host conference calls. You can forward, transfer, and record calls.

A user must have at least one SIP account registered in order to place and receive calls.

In addition to a SIP account, a speaker and a microphone are necessary for audio calls. For video calls, you also require a video camera to allow the remote parties to see your image. Bria works with most USB video cameras.

You can test your devices in Softphone > Preferences > Devices (Windows) or Bria > Preferences > Devices (Mac).

Pausing music when making or receiving calls

For Mac users:

The Bria for Mac app has a preference for pausing Apple Music. It does not stop anything else such as Spotify or YouTube; you will have to pause it manually.

For Windows users:

Windows offers a feature called "Default Communication Device" where users can choose whether to stop music or reduce volume when Windows detects communication activities such as making and receiving calls.
