To make it possible for people to see others when they are talking online, the key is to enable video calling features in the communication platform. This typically involves:
- Using a platform that supports video calls, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, or Google Meet.
- Having the necessary hardware, mainly a webcam and microphone.
- Creating video call rooms or links that participants can join.
- Using controls in the platform to start video during calls so participants can see each other.
- Ensuring that participants allow video access on their devices.
Most video call platforms make it easy to enable video either at the start of a call or by adding video after a voice call has started. Users often click a "Start Video" or "Video" button in the conversation window to activate their camera and share live video with others. This simulates an in-person conversation by showing faces and expressions in real time.
Additionally, for security and privacy, users should be aware of how to accept or decline video calls and how to control video sharing privacy settings. This also includes knowing how to block or mute if necessary to keep communication safe.
Thus, implementing or using the above video calling capabilities in an online communication system makes it possible for people to see each other when talking online.
