The best tech is the one nobody has to think about. For family calls, that means one tablet, one app and one button.
The one-tap setup
- Choose a single video app the whole family already uses.
- Add a shortcut for each family member to the home screen.
- Turn on auto-answer for trusted contacts on the grandparents’ device.
- Keep the tablet on a stand and on charge.
Ten minutes of setup saves an hour of “can you hear me?”

Set this up for my parents last weekend. The one-tap shortcut is genius.
Thank you! Fewer “can you hear me” moments for everyone.
