Audio and video tips

Only see blank screen and can't hear anyone when you start your call?

If you're using a cellular network, try to connect to a Wi-Fi network instead.

If you are using an iOS device (e.g. iPhone, iPad) and need to call using a cellular network, update your mobile device with the latest OS.

Can't hear the agent or they can't hear you?

Try the following:

  • Turn up the volume
  • Make sure your microphone is turned on
  • Make sure you're not on mute
  • Find a location that is quieter
  • Disconnect any Bluetooth devices
  • Close any open applications that may be using your microphone, such as other video-calling or chat programs

Poor quality video?

If you're using a cellular network, try to connect to a Wi-Fi network instead.

Check your network connection, and if needed, find a stronger network connection.

Call ended unexpectedly?

Stay within one network and don't walk around during your call.

If you receive a phone call, it may end your video call.
