Surely during these last few weeks you have made a video call on WhatsApp Whether with a friend, family member or even in a group. The truth is that video calls through this messaging application work very well, but maybe you are not happy with the quality of the video calls. Whether the call is blurred, dropped or not heard well depends on many factors. In this article I give you some solutions to improve the quality of WhatsApp group video calls.
Connect to the WiFi network, although it is not always a good option
If you're at home, it's best to connect to a stable Wi-Fi network to make video calls, so the quality will improve and you won't notice major cuts. If you can be close to the router, better. Of course, do not prioritize the WiFi connection over the mobile data of your phone Mainly, because the network can be saturated: it happens if there are other devices connected or there are more users using the same WiFi network. Therefore, it may be better in some cases to stay on mobile data during the video call. Of course, as long as your rate has enough MB.
Pause downloads or close apps that are using internet connection
Are you downloading GTA V while making a video call? If you want to improve the quality of group calls, you must pause the download or those processes and applications that are using an Internet connection. For example, a series on Netflix, an app update etc.
Search for areas with natural light
It may seem silly, but the quality of WhatsApp video calls improves considerably thanks to good lighting Users will see you less noise and more clarity. Look for areas of your house where natural light enters. For example, you can put yourself in front of a window (at a distance so that the sun lets you see the screen) or in those areas where there is more light. Avoid lowering the blinds or closing the curtains if you see that you have too much light in the thumbnail, since other users will always see you with less quality.
Avoid backlit areas
If in the previous point I told you to look for areas with natural light, in this case I want to emphasize that you avoid those areas with backlight. For example, that the camera does not have any windows behind you.The front camera of the mobile is somewhat inferior to the rear, and the focus is not as precise. Therefore, it will not detect the subject well and focus on the brightest area.
Clean the front camera
If we are making the video call through your mobile, clean the area of the front camera with a cloth or chamois. It is probable fingerprints remain on the lens after holding the device horizontally to play games or watch a video. This happens a lot on tablets too, so don't forget to clean up the camera area for a sharper image.
Turn off video
If you have followed the steps above, but the quality of video calls is still not good, then you can choose to turn off video and use only audio This way you will avoid cuts or connection failures, since WhatsApp will not need so many resources. What you can do is activate it every time you are going to speak and then deactivate it again.
