Using the Brazen platform
Check Your Tech
Chrome is the recommended browser for Brazen.
To avoid technical issues during the event, run these service checks in advance and reach out to Brazen if issues are detected:
In Brazen, attendees will browse virtual booths and join video/audio chats from any device. Each chat lasts around 10 minutes and students can place themselves in line in multiple booths, but will only be connected with one chat at a time.
The Brazen Help Center has many resources, articles and FAQs to help with technical questions and tips for using the Brazen platform. During the event, real-time technical assistance is available by emailing [email protected].
