To make it possible for people to see others when they are talking online, the typical way is to use video calling technology through online communication platforms. This requires both parties to have webcams and internet-connected devices. People can start a video call by creating or joining a meeting room or sending a video call invitation. Once both parties accept, their video streams are shown, allowing them to see each other during the conversation. Common platforms include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and browser-based tools that do not require downloads. Here are key elements to enable this:
- Ensure participants have devices with webcams and microphones.
- Use a video calling platform that supports video streams.
- Initiate or receive a video call and accept to share video.
- Use video call controls to start or stop video during conversations.
This lets people interact face-to-face visually while talking online, mimicking in-person conversations.
