Voice, video, and screen share

Troubleshoot Taverns voice, video, and screen sharing: join voice halls, set mute or push to talk, choose browser devices, and fix call problems.

Join and leave a voice hall

Select a voice hall to open its call surface, then choose Join voice when you are ready to connect. A text chat runs alongside the voice hall so participants can share links and messages without talking over one another.

To leave, use the disconnect control shown while you are connected. Closing the Taverns page ends the browser connection.

Mute and deafen

Mute turns your microphone off: other people cannot hear you, but you still hear them. Deafen silences the call in both directions, so it also mutes your microphone. Both controls appear with the active voice connection.

Use push to talk on the web

Open the voice settings inside a voice hall and choose push to talk as the input mode. On the web, hold Space while the Taverns page has focus to transmit, then release it to stop. The web key is fixed and cannot currently be rebound.

Use camera and screen share

When supported by your browser and device, the voice-hall controls let you turn on a camera or share a screen. Other participants can focus the resulting tile.

Your browser or operating system may ask for camera or screen-recording permission. If a control does not start, review the site permission and try again.

Choose input and output devices

The voice settings inside a hall list the microphones, speakers, and cameras that your browser makes available to Taverns. Grant microphone or camera permission first if a selector is empty. Device choices are local to that browser and device rather than account-wide settings.

Why can't anyone hear me?

Most voice problems come down to one of these checks:

  • Nobody can hear you: check mute first, confirm the expected microphone is selected, and make sure the browser has microphone permission for tav.gg.
  • You cannot hear others: make sure you are not deafened, then confirm the browser or operating system is sending audio to the expected output device.
  • Audio sounds robotic or drops out: move closer to the router or switch networks, then leave and rejoin the voice hall.
  • Camera or screen share will not start: check browser and operating-system permissions, then reload Taverns if the permission changed while the hall was open.
