How to make video calls clearer and more enjoyable

Call quality doesn't depend on the app alone. A few simple changes often make the picture and sound noticeably better.

Mind the lighting

Sit facing a window or a soft lamp. Bright light behind you makes your face too dark.

Check your internet

Move closer to your Wi-Fi router, pause unnecessary downloads or try a different connection.

Check your microphone and camera

Close apps that might be using the camera and plug in headphones if needed.
