Tin Can is an audio streaming platform.
The quality of the audio streaming is heavily influenced by the type of phone the host(creator) uses and the environment in which they use it. In the case of the Call-In feature, if all four people have their microphones and speakers on at the same time, you can expect some side effects to the quality of the stream.

For the best quality stream, the host should be connected to a strong network and use a high-performing phone(hardware).First, here are some notes on Network connectivity.
Cases may vary depending on the user, but in the case of unstable network connection you can press the “Streaming Reset” button at the bottom of your screen. This will reconnect your stream and in many cases fix any issues you might have been experiencing.
When to you use “Streaming Reset:
- When you suddenly cannot hear any audio
- When the audio cuts in and out due to unstable network connection
All things considered, it is best to livestream your broadcast only when you have a solid connection rather than trying to do so when you have poor connection. Second, here are some notes on hardware(phones).
There are some phones that are not compatible with Tin Can’s “Call-In” service and optimal audio quality. For example, Apple phones(iPhones) do not have the howling and audio feedback issues that many Android phones have. Most phones have an “audio echo cancellation function” built-in by default to prevent the sound from the speaker from being re-inputted to the microphone, but there are cases when the “audio echo cancellation function” does not work normally in some phones. We recommend that you do not use the “Call-In” feature if your phone has this issue. From Tin Can’s testing, we have found that Samsung Galaxy phones and Google Pixel phones function properly and can use the “Call-In” feature stably.
