5 suggestions to have a great call:
Choppy video can be frustrating during a video call. Fortunately, here are 5 tips that can improve call quality:
- Restart your computer before a call. Other software might be using computer power or interfere with your video or microphone. Restarting your computer will assure your computer is ready for video.
- Use fast internet with ethernet cable. Video quality adapts to internet speed, so the faster your internet connection, the better the video quality you will experience.
- Use a newer computer with plenty of speed. Sending and receiving video takes a lot of computer power. Old or slow computers will have a harder time processing the video, which can cause choppiness.
- Use low resolution. If you are experience poor quality, try lowering the resolution . By doing this it requires less bandwidth and computer power, resulting in less choppiness during your telemedicine call.
- Use headphones. Typically your computer will automatically eliminate echo or audio feedback so you don't hear yourself talking. But if it happens, use headphones.
- Check into waiting room. Please check into my waiting room: https:// doxy.me/brendasaturday I will soon greet you for your appointment.
- Appointment: Should you have a need, I look forward to speaking with you and meeting you for your intinitial appointment via doxy.me.
