Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, naming the platform (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet) is enough; you don’t need to add ‘online’ because the verb *videollamar* already implies a digital call. Avoid mixing English and Spanish (e.g., ‘Zoom para video calls’) – keep the whole phrase in Spanish for a natural sound.
