Technical Set Up

To make or receive a Near Me call, you will need a device such as a desktop or laptop PC, tablet or smartphone.  There is no software to download, all you need is an up to date web browser. Such as: Google Chrome, Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge v86+

Staff members should also ensure they have a reasonable audio setup.  A headset or a conference call speakerphone are ideal, but earbuds can also be used.

Up to date minimum equipment specification can be found in the Resource Centre.

Test your Connection

You can test your network connection by clicking on the image below.  This should return an “Excellent”. If not, consider optimising your network to ensure the best call quality.
