What do I need to make a video call?
  • A device for making a video call, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a webcam and speaker (often built into laptops).

  • A private, well-lit area for your consultation, where you will not be disturbed.
  • Use the latest version of Edge, Safari, or Chrome for best video calling performance.
