Good to Know
> 🎨 **Setting up for elderly relatives?** I can configure it with big, simple buttons and add their key contacts to the home screen. One tap to call the kids or grandkids. **Multiple people in the house?** Each person can have their own account, or share one - depends on the device and how you'll use it. I'll advise what makes sense. **Old houses with rubbish WiFi?** Video calls need decent internet. If your WiFi is weak in the room where you want to call from, let me know - might need a WiFi extender or to move the router.
Frequently Asked Questions about Video call setup in Dawlish
Which video calling app is best?
Depends who you're calling. WhatsApp is easiest if everyone has it on their phone. Zoom is better for group calls with multiple people. FaceTime works great but only between Apple devices. I'll set up whichever makes sense for your situation.
Do I need special equipment?
Just a tablet, smartphone, or laptop with a camera. Most devices made in the last 5 years have everything built in. If your laptop's camera is rubbish, I can recommend a cheap USB webcam.
Will it work on my old iPad?
Probably. I'll check if your device supports the app versions you need. Some really old tablets can't run the latest apps, but there's usually a workaround.
Can you show my elderly parent how to use it?
Absolutely. I'll set it up so it's as simple as possible - one-tap to call their main contacts. I'll walk them through it slowly and leave clear written instructions with pictures.
What if something goes wrong after you leave?
I'll leave my number. Most issues are simple - wrong camera selected, microphone muted, WiFi dropped. I can usually talk you through a fix over the phone.
