Remember when your grandson called last Tuesday and told you about his soccer game? You could hear the excitement in his voice, but you couldn’t see the pride on his face when he described scoring the winning goal. You missed seeing how tall he’s gotten, the gap where his front tooth fell out, or the way he lights up when he talks about something he loves.

Phone calls are wonderful, but video calls are magical. They let you watch your granddaughter blow out her birthday candles from three states away. You can see your son’s new haircut, your daughter’s remodeled kitchen, or your great-grandchild taking their first steps. You can read bedtime stories while your grandkids see the pictures in the book. You can attend family gatherings virtually when traveling isn’t possible.

But here’s the problem: video calling apps like FaceTime, Zoom, and WhatsApp can feel impossibly confusing if no one’s shown you how they work. Where do you click? How do you answer a call? What if you accidentally hang up? What if they can’t hear you or the camera shows the wrong angle?
