๐ What is a Phone Call?
Imagine you have a magic string connected to your friend's ear! When you talk into your end, they hear you on their end. A phone call is just like that! You can hear the person's voice, their laughter, or even the sound of their dog barking, but you can't see them. It's all about listening and talking with your ears and mouth.
๐ฅ What is a Video Call?
Now, imagine that magic string also has a little window on it! With a video call, you can not only hear your friend's voice, but you can also see their face, their smile, and what they are doing! It's like they are right there in front of you on a screen, even if they are very far away. You use your ears to listen, your mouth to talk, and your eyes to see!
