Voice changer for Opera / Opera GX

Choose a character voice or an instant effect, listen with headphones, and take that voice into a connected browser call. Audio processing runs on your device; AI performance depends on your hardware.

Soundboard for Opera / Opera GX

Bring your own clips or start with the included reactions. A Situation keeps a mix behind one button. Adjust Call and Me separately so your friends’ volume does not have to match yours.

Set up Echo Lite in Opera / Opera GX

  1. Step 1

    Install the browser edition

    After the Opera Add-ons listing is published, open it in Opera or Opera GX and install Echo Lite. Open the browser’s extensions menu to find the controls, then open the calling website in that same browser.

  2. Step 2

    Connect the calling website

    Open your calling website in Opera / Opera GX, then open Echo Lite and choose Connect site. Review the site-access request and allow microphone access when prompted. If the calling tab was already open, refresh it and rejoin with your usual microphone selected.

  3. Step 3

    Try a voice and a sound

    Choose a free voice or effect, then open Soundboard and click a sound tile. Ask someone in the call to check both your voice and the clip. The headphone preview only plays to you. Turn Voice changer off whenever you want your natural voice back.

Use headphones to avoid feedback. Refreshing a calling tab leaves the current call.

Opera extension or GX mod?

Echo Lite is a browser extension for your call audio. GX mods customize the browser itself, including its appearance, background music and browser sounds. A GX mod’s sound effects are not a substitute for a soundboard connected to your call. This guide covers the extension in both Opera and Opera GX.

Having trouble in Opera / Opera GX?

If you hear browser or keyboard sounds but the call hears no reaction, open Echo Lite’s Soundboard and check that the calling site is connected. GX customization sounds and Echo’s soundboard are separate controls. Check the Call volume and ask another participant to listen.

  • Keep your usual physical microphone selected in the call.
  • Connect the exact calling tab, then refresh and rejoin if it was already open.
  • Check Voice changer On/Off, Call volume and mute controls separately.

Opera / Opera GX extension questions

Is Echo Lite for Opera / Opera GX free?

The free plan includes selected AI voices and effects, the soundboard with your own clips, and one editable Situation slot. You can start without an account. Echo Pro adds more voices, custom effects and more Situation slots.

Will this change my voice in native games?

Echo Lite connects to browser calling websites. Running Opera GX beside a native game does not turn Echo Lite into a system microphone for that game. Use the Echo Live desktop setup when the voice chat runs in a native game or desktop app.

Why can I hear a sound but my friends cannot?

The headphone preview plays locally. To send a clip, connect the calling website, check that Echo shows Active, and click the sound tile. Check the Call volume and the call’s mute controls. If the site was already open, refresh and rejoin. Some calling sites filter sounds as background noise, so test with another participant.

Does every calling website support the soundboard?

Compatibility depends on how the website captures and processes your microphone. Discord web voice and soundboard audio have been tested in Chrome; that is not a guarantee for every browser and site combination. Google Meet’s speech processing can filter soundboard clips. Always check what another participant hears.
