Why can't I see video?


There are two possible reasons why you may not be able to see the other participant's video:

  1. The other user may have turned off their video.
  2. When starting an online lesson, the online tool will run a test in the background to determine whether a user has enough bandwidth to display video. If there is not enough bandwidth available, the user will be automatically switched to audio-only in order to provide the best possible experience for both participants.

Why do I hear an echo of my voice?

 

It is common to hear an echo if you are not using headphones. For the best experience, it is strongly recommended to always using a headset or headphones.


Below is a list of things that you could also try to reduce echo:   

  1. Reduce the volume of your speakers.
  2. Reduce the sensitivity of the microphone. This will require a change in settings via Control Panel (for Windows) or System Preferences (Mac).

To determine the cause of echo, you could try the following:

  1. Rejoin the session from a different computer. If the echo has reduced, then there is most likely an issue with the hardware on your previous computer.
  2. Create a new session, then join the session. If the echo has reduced, then there is an issue with this particular chat room caused by the other user. In this case, selective muting (muting a user when they are not talking) can help.
