Web dialers: calling through the browser interface
Short answer: A web dialer gives you telephone controls inside a browser tab. The page needs permission to capture audio and an active service account to make or answer supported calls.
Browser security, microphone permission and the selected audio device all affect the result. Review those settings before diagnosing a number or carrier fault.
