What we want to do in this video is show you how to use the echo or sound test service
.
This allows us to check if we have set up the application correctly, and if we can actually communicate with other people and call our contacts. If the echo or sound test is successful, then we know that the application is working fine, and we have no problems to communicate with other people. To do this, enter the "recent" section, which is displayed at the top of the screen in blue letters. Swipe to the left or right to reach this section, if you're not there already.
