Video Relay Service Tip: Making the Best of VRS Calls

Your VRS experience is always best when it’s smooth for everyone involved: you, the hearing person, and the interpreter.

Here are some tips we recommend:

1. Be prepared. Have everything you need for the call with you.
2. Team with your interpreter. Give them context to quickly understand what the call is about or let them know it’ll be a long call.
3. Choose your preference. With some calls, you may prefer to have an interpreter of a specific gender. Ask to switch interpreters if needed.

With these top tips, we hope you notice your VRS calls go smoother.
