Fix common call issues fast

Start with a measurement

The fastest way to fix call issues is to confirm what the browser can actually access, then change one thing at a time and re-test. Many tool pages include a copyable report you can paste into an IT ticket.

1. Run Device Check to see which devices are detected.
2. Run Browser Test to confirm camera/mic permissions and core browser capabilities.
3. Run the specific tool for your issue (Mic/Webcam/Speaker/Ping/Upload/Echo) and re-test after each change.
