Brand expert highlights how technology and the correct use of devices can ensure greater privacy, performance and a professional quality experience in online meetings
Video calls have become essential tools for work, study and socializing over the past few years. Aware of the importance of this type of meeting for the daily lives of millions of Brazilians, Daniela Colin, Director of Procurement and Product Development at Positivo Tecnologia, presents five recommendations related to call security and quality, so that users can enjoy greater privacy, performance and stability in their video calls.
1- Privacy protection
Ensuring user security during video calls is essential. Therefore, a very practical tip is to use physical privacy shutters to cover the cameras at times when the user does not want to be seen. This feature prevents unauthorized people from accessing the device's field of vision, ensuring peace of mind all day long. In addition, visual indicators that alert when the camera is active are other features that help the user to detect possible attempts to hack into their computer.
“Consumers should opt for notebooks that offer cutting-edge technology without compromising user privacy, such as those from Positivo. By adopting solutions such as privacy covers and active camera indicators, the brand reinforces its commitment to providing security and peace of mind for customers,” says Daniela.
2- Security in connection and on platforms
To ensure a safer video calling experience, it is essential to use password-protected Wi-Fi networks and, whenever possible, with WPA3 encryption. “Public or unknown networks should be avoided, as they can expose sensitive data. Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) adds an extra layer of protection, encrypting internet traffic and reducing the risk of unauthorized access,” explains the executive. Keeping your router up to date and adjusting settings, such as disabling remote access, are other best practices to strengthen connection security.
In addition to the network, the choice of videoconferencing platform also makes a difference in data protection. “Choosing services that offer end-to-end encryption prevents third parties from intercepting communications. Other security features, such as two-step authentication and meeting locking, help prevent hacking,” concludes the expert.
3 – Access control and regular updates
One of the main security measures in video calls is to ensure access control to meetings. “Activating waiting rooms and using passwords to join are good security practices,” says Daniela. These tools allow the host to have full control over who can and cannot participate in the meeting, preventing unauthorized people from connecting without due permission.
In addition to access control, keeping the system and applications up to date is essential. “To keep your computer running smoothly, you need to regularly update your systems and software to prevent intruders or hackers from accessing sensitive data, such as bank accounts, personal information and passwords, for example,” adds Daniela. These updates not only fix security flaws, but also ensure that your device is prepared to deal with new risks.
4- Technology that makes a difference
To ensure superior image and sound quality in video calls, it is essential that the laptops used are equipped with technologies appropriate to the situation. “Artificial intelligence noise reduction, available in Windows 11 and compatible applications, Wi-Fi 6 network cards, which guarantee greater stability and connection speed, and cameras with HDR, which provide clear images, even in low-light environments, are important features for an uninterrupted communication experience,” explains the expert. In addition, the appropriate configuration of lighting, scenery and correct positioning of the camera also play a crucial role in quality.
Among the tools that help in this process, an interesting innovation on the market is the Lumina Bar feature, present only in Positivo notebooks, which have LED bars next to the camera to improve the image. “The Lumina Bar offers adjustable integrated lighting and eliminates the need for external accessories, such as ring lights, for ideal lighting even in dark environments”, explains Daniela. The practical and efficient technology offers better image quality, making it clearer and more professional, regardless of the conditions of the location where the user is.
5 – Proprietary webcam software
Some Positivo notebook models are also equipped with advanced webcam tools, developed by Positivo Tecnologia, which include features such as automatic face tracking, background blur for greater privacy, real-time lighting adjustment, soft focus and an innovative feature called auto mute – the software intelligently detects when the user moves away from the device and automatically mutes the microphone, further assisting with privacy.
“These technologies provide a professional-level presentation, improving the video calling experience, both in terms of quality and practicality,” says Daniela. “With technology and good practices, consumers can rest assured and make video calls on their notebooks with much greater security and quality.”
