The prompt · ChatGPT

Make a video call work for a relative.

Their phone: [iPhone / Android]
App we'll use: [FaceTime / WhatsApp / other]
I can practise with them: [when]
Issues last time: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Steps for them in large, plain words.
2. A 5-minute practice call plan.
3. What I should do on my side.
4. Fallback if video fails (audio only).

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. iPhone / Android: a short note you already have. FaceTime / WhatsApp / other: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
