Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, 'videollamada' is the standard term for a video call, and using 'por videollamada' sounds natural and neutral. In very formal written communication you might prefer 'a través de videollamada' or 'mediante videollamada'. Avoid splitting the word into 'video llamada', which is considered a spelling error.
