01 / CONNECTION
Before your next video call
Give yourself a few minutes to get settled. Put your device on a stable surface and choose a comfortable spot with light in front of you.
- Check that your device has enough charge.
- Make sure you can hear the sound.
- Keep the call invitation easy to find.
If something feels unfamiliar, ask the person you are calling to practice with you first.
02 / EVERYDAY CONFIDENCE
Make the screen work for you
If text is hard to read, your device may offer a larger text setting. Look in Settings for “Display,” “Text size,” or “Accessibility.” The names vary by device.
Try a small adjustment, open an app you use often, and see how it feels. You can adjust it again.
A comfortable screen is a useful starting point for learning.
03 / THOUGHTFUL HABITS
An unexpected message? Pause.
A message that asks you to act urgently deserves a closer look. Take your time before opening a link or sharing information.
If it claims to be from an organization you know, contact that organization using a phone number or website you already trust, rather than the details in the message.
You do not need to decide just because a message says “right now.”
