What is it?
Texts are short messages. A video call lets people see and hear one another.
Why would I need this?
You may want to check in with family or attend an appointment remotely.
Show me.
- Confirm the number or meeting invitation with the person.
- Check whether you are using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Find the microphone mute control and camera control before a call.
- Choose a private background, then leave or end the call when finished.
Try it.
Point to where you would mute and end a call on your own app without starting a call.
Watch out for this.
An unfamiliar invitation can be misleading. Verify who sent it before opening it.
Explain this another way
Mute turns off what your microphone sends. It does not necessarily turn off your camera.
Show me an example
If noise starts nearby, mute your microphone until you are ready to speak.
What does that word mean?
Wi-Fi: A wireless connection between your device and a nearby network. That network may provide internet access.
App: A program that lets a device do a task, such as showing maps or sending messages.
