el texto da soluciones a problemas que pueda haber para realizar llamadas telefonicas o videollamadas desde la PC usando un programa XX. Por ejemplo:
-Not seeing each other's video? You should both turn your video off then on again, or plug your webcams into a different USB port and restart
Can't see your video? Make sure you've installed the latest drivers, or plug your webcam into a different USB port and restart Skype
***This is down to ****limitations of the other person's webcam, internet connection or computer speed. Not seeing their video? Ask them to try turning it off then on again, or plugging their webcam into a different USB port and restarting
