How can I have the best online
counseling experience?

01 | First, restart your computer or device before a call.

Other software might be using computer power or interfere with your video or microphone. Restarting your computer or device will assure you’re ready for video.

02 | Then make sure you are using fast internet with or without ethernet cable.

Video quality adapts to internet speed, so the faster your internet connection, the better the video quality you will experience.

03 | Third try to make sure you’re using a newer computer or device with plenty of speed.

Sending and receiving video takes a lot of video power. Old or slow computers will have a harder time processing the video, which can cause choppiness.

04 | Use lower resolution

If you experience poor quality, trying lowering the resolution. By doing this it requires less bandwidth and computer power, resulting in less choppiness during your call.

05 | Finally, the best sound experience comes from using headphones and or a microphone

Sometimes your headphones will have a mic in them other times they won’t. Typically your computer will automatically eliminate echo or audio feedback so you don’t hear yourself talking. If you experience an echo or audio feedback, use headphones and a mic.
