Video Call Instructions
Video calls with Accurate Expressions are run on the Streamyard platform. Please review the following instructions for joining. We recommend testing your settings prior to the set meeting time to ensure everything is working properly.
Before the video call
Make sure you have the following:
- A laptop or desktop with a webcam and mic.
- A recent version of Chrome or Firefox.
- A strong internet connection. Just like Zoom, you must have a strong internet connection for it to work well. If possible, connect to your router with an ethernet cable instead of using WiFi.
- We recommend wearing earbuds or headphones to prevent audio echoes.
