Call from Xbox and PlayStation Browser
Make real phone calls directly from your console's browser without installing apps. StartACall bridges WebRTC to the PSTN so you can dial any global phone number from Edge on Xbox or supported PlayStation browsers.
How to Call from Your Console Browser
Follow these simple steps to place a phone call from Xbox or PlayStation using StartACall.
Open StartACall
In your console browser go to startacall.com and sign in. The app runs in-browser so no installation is required.
Allow Microphone
Grant microphone access when the browser asks. Use a USB headset or the controller headset adapter if the console supports it.
Dial and Connect
Enter the phone number and press Call. StartACall will connect your browser session to the PSTN using secure WebRTC signaling.
Tips for Best Experience
- Use a wired USB headset for reliable audio input and output.
- Ensure console firmware is up to date and the browser supports WebRTC features.
- If the PlayStation browser blocks mic access, use a mobile or desktop as a companion device to complete the call.
Browser Compatibility and Headset Options
Which consoles work best and how to connect audio devices for clear calls.
Xbox (Edge)
Xbox Series consoles use a Chromium Edge browser that supports WebRTC and microphone permission prompts. This makes Xbox one of the most straightforward consoles for in-browser calling.
PlayStation
PlayStation browser support varies by model and firmware. Some browsers may restrict microphone access. If you cannot grant mic permissions on PlayStation, use a phone or laptop to complete the call and keep the console available for audio playback.
Headset Options
USB headsets, wired 3.5mm headsets through the controller, and Bluetooth headsets (when console supports) are all valid. Wired connections are the most reliable for low latency.
When to Use a Companion Device
If your console does not provide mic permission to the browser, open StartACall on a phone or laptop and use it to place the call while you listen on your console if desired.
