This page covers three call-related topics: troubleshooting bad call quality, reading call status details, and finding call recordings in Conversations.

Fixing bad call quality

Poor call quality in Hoop is usually caused by internet instability, device interference, or network misconfiguration. When Hoop detects a network issue in real time, it displays an error code to help you identify the root cause.

Common fixes

1

Use a wired internet connection

Connect your device directly to the router via Ethernet. Wi-Fi is more prone to packet loss and instability.
2

Close bandwidth-heavy applications

Pause streaming services, file downloads, and cloud backups during calls. These compete for bandwidth with VoIP traffic.
3

Restart your router and modem

Unplug the power cable from both devices, wait 30 seconds, then plug them back in and wait for full reconnection.
4

Update your browser

Outdated browsers can cause compatibility issues. Keep Chrome or your preferred browser up to date.
5

Use headphones with a built-in microphone

A headset reduces echo and improves microphone quality significantly over laptop speakers and mics.
6

Disable conflicting extensions or third-party apps

Some browser extensions consume bandwidth or conflict with audio. Disable them to isolate the issue.
7

Check your internet speed

Go to speedtest.net and verify you have at least 5 Mbps upload and download with minimal packet loss.
8

Check firewall and port settings

Ask your IT team to confirm that UDP Ports 10000–20000 are open, as some firewalls block SIP traffic used for VoIP.
Yes, but a wired connection offers better stability and quality. Use Wi-Fi only when Ethernet is not available.
Google Chrome offers the best compatibility and performance for Hoop calls.
Check your microphone input settings and confirm Chrome has permission to access your microphone (browser settings → Privacy and security → Microphone).
If none of the above steps improve quality, contact Hoop support with specific examples and the error codes you saw.
