Make a low-bandwidth connection plan

Choose contact that works with the connection you have instead of repeatedly attempting high-quality video.

Try this

  1. Compare text, compressed photos and audio based on what each person can reliably receive.
  2. Pick one preferred format and one fallback. State when a delayed upload can simply wait rather than be sent again.

A worked example

“Video isn’t working here. I’ll send a short text now and save the photos for when I have Wi-Fi.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Check whether retries could create duplicates before resending. A technical delivery status should not be described as proof that a person has seen or understood the message.
