How to join an Oracle Girl Community Call on Brave Talk

Device and browser recommendations, troubleshooting microphone, camera, and unmute issues, clearing browser cache, and how to use breakout rooms.

Before the call

  • Device: Please use a laptop or desktop computer for the best experience. Mobile phones and tablets can cause layout and connection issues.

  • Browsers: We recommend Chrome, Safari, or Brave. Please avoid Firefox or DuckDuckGo, as they often block media permissions or disrupt the display.

  • Joining time: If you try to join more than 5 minutes early, the system may ask for a password. Return closer to the start time and click your join link again, no password is needed.

Microphone & camera permissions (by browser)

  • Google Chrome:

    1. Click the padlock icon (🔒) or tune icon on the left side of the address bar.

    2. Toggle both Microphone and Camera to Allow / On.

    3. Refresh the page.

  • Brave:

    1. Click the tune icon on the left of the address bar and verify that Camera and Microphone are enabled.

    2. If the video or audio still fails to connect, click the Brave Shields (lion icon) to the right of the address bar and toggle Shields Down for the call page.

  • Safari:

    1. In the top menu bar, go to Safari > Settings (or Preferences) > Websites.

    2. Click Camera on the left and set talk.brave.com to Allow.

    3. Click Microphone on the left and set talk.brave.com to Allow.

Audio & unmute troubleshooting

If clicking the microphone icon does nothing or you cannot be heard:

  • Use keyboard shortcuts: Tap the letter M on your keyboard to toggle mute/unmute. You can also try pressing the Spacebar.

  • Select the correct audio input: Click the small arrow next to the microphone icon inside Brave Talk to make sure your active headset or internal microphone is selected.

  • Check the browser tab: Look at your open browser tab at the top of the window to confirm the tab itself hasn't been muted by your browser.

  • Quick reload: If the buttons remain unresponsive, refresh your browser tab
    (Cmd + R on Mac or Ctrl + F5 on Windows) and re-enter the room.

How to clear your cache

Clearing temporary files resolves most persistent Brave Talk connection errors:

  • Chrome & Brave:

    1. Press Cmd + Shift + Delete (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows).

    2. Set the Time Range to All time.

    3. Check the box for Cached images and files (leave other boxes unchecked).

    4. Click Clear data.

  • Safari:

    1. In the top menu bar, click Develop > Empty Caches (or press Option + Cmd + E).

    2. (If the Develop menu is hidden: Go to Safari > Settings > Advanced and tick Show features for web developers).

  • Final step: Completely close and reopen your browser before clicking the call link again.

During the call & breakout rooms

You will be welcomed by the Oracle Girl Team and then guided into breakout rooms for small group sharing. (Please note that there are no breakout rooms when the Oracle Girl Community call is with Jacqueline.)
​

The flow of the call includes:

  • A short introduction

  • Breakout room sharing

  • A shared silence

  • A short closing together

To join a breakout room:

  1. Click the people icon (đŸ‘„) in the bottom-right corner of the Brave Talk window.

  2. A panel will open on the right—scroll down past the participant list.

3. Locate the Breakout rooms section, select a room, and click Join.

We look forward to seeing you live!
