The quality of my video or audio connection is poor

Recora's video appointments require a stable internet connection and access to your camera and microphone. For the best experience, download Recora's app on your mobile phone or tablet.

Tips for a Great Video Visit

  1. Ensure your device is plugged in and charging or has a full battery
  2. Use the hardware test to check your microphone and camera
  3. Have a strong internet connection. See Tips for a Stronger Connection below.
  4. Make sure your device meets the minimum requirements
  5. You may want to restart your device (e.g. computer, tablet or phone) before the call
  6. Turn up the volume on your device

Video and Audio Troubleshooting

  • Try another device. If you or your family have a more powerful device (e.g. computer, tablet, or phone) you can use to join Recora's sessions, this may significantly improve your experience.
  • Allow access to your camera and microphone.
  • Try a different browser. Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox (latest versions) are recommended for using Recora.
  • Update to the latest browser. You can easily check your current browser version. Don't assume you are on the latest version just because you have auto updates on.
  • You may need a stronger connection. Your internet connection is very important for call quality. See our Tips for a Stronger Connection below.
  • You may need to update to the latest operating system. Your operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android) has regular updates to improve its functionality and security. Ensure you are updated to the latest version of your operating system for optimal performance.

Note: The following devices are not compatible with Recora:

  • Amazon Kindle and other e-readers
  • Voice-controlled smart speakers such as Alexa or Google Assistant

Tips for a Stronger Connection

  • Check your internet speed. Both you and your provider will need at least 750 kbps to connect on a video call, and we recommend 2 mbps for a more stable session.
  • Try another network. Sometimes switching from your phone's cellular data connection to a WiFi connection can help.
  • Move closer to your router. Getting right next to your router, or plugging in to your router through an Ethernet cable can help performance.
  • Charge your device's battery. Low power mode or just not being plugged into a power source may cause your device to run in a power-saving mode. This mode will reduce the performance of your device.
  • Disconnect other devices from your network. Ask others in your household to disconnect their devices (TVs, computers, smart devices) so they do not use up valuable bandwidth.
  • Call your ISP. Make sure your internet service provider (ISP) isn't slowing your connection speeds.
