Interpreting over Video

Preparation

To ensure the best possible video quality, please review the following guidelines to prepare for a video call with an interpreter:

1. Microphone and Webcam check
   • Check the microphone and webcam components are available and in working order on your computer
   • Your audio is not muted
   • You have allowed microphone and webcam access in your browser permissions

   

2. Working internet connection
   1. All LISA video calls are routed through the internet – to optimize your experience, try to use an Ethernet connection physically wired to your computer instead of Wi-Fi

      • Minimum 1 Mbps upstream/downstream supported
