Tips to Improve Your Video Calling Experience

In the Philippines, video call is a popular online activity even prior to the pandemic. As Filipinos love to connect with their family and friends, distance is never a hindrance to them. And with the availability of smart technology, most especially the handy ones, communication has never been this easy.

However, some still struggle with their video calling experience. Apart from not being well-versed on how to use newer technology, the number of users connected to the same network while doing various online activities are some of the factors that affect one’s video calling experience.

Below are some of the tips you can do to improve your next video call:

Make sure to have a stable internet connection.

Internet is a necessary tool to connect with everyone. And this is most especially true in terms of a video call or conference. That’s why it is significant to have a fast and stable internet connection while you do your video call. You will experience lag or buffers during the call if it’s otherwise.

Check if your existing plan suffices such need. Additionally, it will be best to conduct a speed test first prior engaging to a video call. This will let you know of your connection’s current speed and stability.

In the Philippines, there are a lot of internet service providers that can provide you with the right internet subscription based on your online needs. There are DSL, mobile data, and fiber internet plans you can choose from.

Check if your app is up to date.

Video calls are mostly available via apps installed on your device. Hence, you must ensure that this specific app is up to date so that it will function in an optimal condition. Addedly, check if you have enough storage so that you can seamlessly install the updates needed for these video calling apps.

Prepare the technical things and get away from distractions.

To have the best experience, ensure to have your earphones or headphones with microphone ready. This will enable you to clearly hear the person from the other line. Additionally, go to a quiet place with proper lighting. Move away from all the noise and other distractions. And if possible, add an appropriate virtual background, most especially for professional meetings or conferences.
