What is Packet loss and what is its effect on video calls?

Packet loss is when packets fail to arrive correctly. This can be due to insufficient bandwidth along the path (when congestion occurs, routers will drop packets), or perhaps errors in transmission. Packet loss results in effects such as “tiling” within the video window, missing pieces or blank areas within the video window, and/or disruptions in audio.
