Jitter

Definition

Jitter is the variation in the timing of audio packet delivery over a network. High jitter causes choppy or distorted audio, so managing it is essential for clear voice calls.

Why it matters

Jitter and related network factors affect call quality; robust platforms mitigate them to keep conversations clear.
