  1. Before logging in to visit, check your webcam for good picture quality and make sure you are located in well-lit area, but not where your camera is in direct sunlight.
  2. Check your sound quality/ audio level. Most webcams and operating systems allow for testing of your microphone on your system.
  3. Speak normally. Some have a tendency to speak loudly or directly into the microphone and this causes distortion for the inmate. Avoid allowing persons sitting or standing behind to talk, as they often speak louder than necessary.
  4. Avoid large movements during the call. Webcams are often sensitive to movement and do not offer a good picture during movement.
  5. Check your internet speed. Low bandwidths may cause lag time in transmission of your video feed. If unsure of your internet speed, contact your internet service provider to ensure your internet speeds are capable of handling video conferencing.
  6. Be logged into your account on time and ready to visit. If you are late for the visit, you will only be allowed the remainder of your scheduled time.

Handicap visits will be conducted at the Detention Facility Lobby and may be scheduled by calling 865-281-6700 and selection option 5.
