Possible difficulties
- The interlocutor does not hear you. The most common reason for this is a non-working microphone or incorrect settings. In the first case, the microphone needs to be replaced, in the second - select the correct device in the settings.
- You cannot hear the interlocutor. Try increasing the volume on the system. If this does not help, make sure that the correct audio output device is selected in the settings.
- Bad connection. The reason for this is a weak connection to the network of one of the participants in the communication. Disable video calls to reduce bandwidth usage.
