✅ Common Issues and Fixes with Mobile Hotspot

​
⚠️ Signs Your Hotspot Isn’t Stable

Watch out for these indicators during your system check or live session:
  • You see a “Connectivity: Warning” or “Bandwidth: Low” alert
  • Your audio or video keeps cutting out
  • The session freezes or reconnects automatically
  • You are logged out of a proctored assessment or interview mid-way

🛠️ How to Optimize Hotspot Usage for Talview

Here’s how to get the best performance out of your mobile hotspot:
  • Use 4G or 5G network — Avoid 2G/3G connections
  • Keep the hotspot device plugged in and charged
  • Place the hotspot device close to your computer
  • Limit movement during your session to avoid signal drops
  • Enable airplane mode + Wi-Fi hotspot on your mobile (if supported) to avoid call interruptions
  • Avoid using the same phone for both hotspot and Talview session — use separate devices if possible
Once done, Run a Network Speed Test to check if you’re ready.

🔁 When to Switch Networks

If you continue to face issues despite optimizations:
  • Try switching to a home or office Wi-Fi connection
  • Or, use a wired (LAN) connection for best stability
