80% fewer video call errors
When dealing with video call errors, troubleshooting can be a complicated task. Often, the cause of the issue lies at the far end of the call. To find the root cause of the problem, it is advisable to look at other calls to determine what is going on.
One of the most common causes of poor video call quality is a bad internet connection. If you are using a low data plan, your connection may suffer from dropped calls or poor video quality. However, you can take steps to fix this. Some of these measures include:
Restart your computer, update your software, or check for updates. Another common fix for bad video call performance is to redial the call. This means that the call will travel through the web in a different way. During the process, the quality of your call will be improved.
Latency can also play a part in your video call experience. As a rule, latency is measured by the time between when a user accesses a server on the Internet and when the video packet arrives. Depending on the quality of your service, you can select settings that prioritize less latency-sensitive traffic.
Poor video call performance can have a detrimental effect on your users’ experiences. Consequently, it can lead to an increase in support tickets, user complaints, and less video calls.
