Video Quality
Video quality is influenced by many different factors, including network speed, network latency, overall line quality, and webcam's settings. Slow upload speeds can cause the video to be choppy or distorted.
No Audio/Video
Go to test.webrtc.org (opens in new window) and click “Start.” If there is a prompt asking for access to the webcam and microphone, please choose “Allow." You can also test your system at https://networktest.twilio.com (opens in new window).
Connection Quality
Remember to close or disable network-based applications that require excessive bandwidth, like streaming video and music services and file sharing applications, which may cause video calls to freeze or blur. Also, remember that only about 60% of bandwidth is accessed by wireless networks, so for best results, connect via HARDWIRE!
PERFORM THESE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ROUTINELY:
Go to WebRTC Troubleshooter (opens in new window), WebcamMicTest.com (opens in new window), and Twilio WebRTC Diagnostics (opens in new window) and run each test.
