Session Connection
How to fix your internet connection for a smooth session in the HSE video-call room
If you find that your connection is poor before a session or if your session gets repeatedly interrupted due to the connection issues, it’s time to fix your network. Here are some tips to speed up your internet:
- Make sure you’re connected to Wifi or a cable internet network, not to your mobile internet.
- Move closer to your router. If this doesn’t help, try restarting your router.
- If connection issues continue, you may try restarting your computer as well.
- Close other apps or tabs in your browser that might be using internet bandwidth.
- If you are downloading files, pause the download.
- Connect with an ethernet cable if you have one. Read more about how to set up your ethernet connection here.
- If none of the above options help, try switching off your video and complete the HSE session with only your audio on. This won’t guarantee a high quality session experience, but it will help you stay connected with your client.
- Finally, to make sure your future sessions on HSE are smooth and your clients stay satisfied, contact your Internet service provider for a more detailed diagnosis of your network.
- One last tip: if you plan to give sessions from a public space or a café, check that they have a strong internet connection plenty of time before your sessions.
