If you’re noticing an uptick in dropped calls or your sound quality isn’t functioning as expected, you can use the articles in this section to help you test and troubleshoot.
Getting started
There are a few things that can impact sound quality. First, let’s look at the main things that occur in your network that can affect sound quality.
- Jitter - when voice data packets are sent in the incorrect order.
- Latency - the time it takes the media packets to traverse the network.
- Packet loss - when voice data packets do not reach the destination.
- Bandwidth - the measure of how much data your connection can transfer at one time.
Next, we’ve collected the most common call quality symptoms and the network qualities that often cause them. If one of the sections below describes the specific issues you are experiencing on calls within Lead Center, you can use the guide linked in that section to help you troubleshoot.
