Zoom automatically switches the camera to the person talking, so you don’t always need to see everybody all the time. Make sure you know how to adjust the number of video feeds (faces) you see. You can see none, one, a column/row, or a grid of even more feeds. The first thing is how many video feeds you are watching. Watching the other video feeds in the Zoom meeting requires more download (Zoom receive). You just have to keep an eye on the Zoom Statistics for all the different types of things you do in Zoom meetings. It’s not really as data heavy as users think, although it can get out of control for certain situations. You can usually get away with using less than 1 Meg to operate Zoom. A fiber optic network might have 50-100 Megs, and a corporate or university network could have a speed of hundreds of Megs. This is only 0.444 Mbps, or less than half a “Meg” as we say colloquially.įor the record, standard “high speed internet” starts at 5-10 Megs (Mbps). For example, Zoom says it’s sending 444 kpbs, which sounds like a big number. Take the Zoom Statistics and divide by 1000, shifting an imaginary decimal point three positions to the left. Second, the Zoom Statistics are in kbps and the Speedtest,net results are in Mbbs.
Don t rely on what your internet provider (who you pay the bill to) says. Test it at several times a day (morning, noon, night) for a few consecutive days to be really sure. Note that the speed of your internet connection may vary.
And it needs to be more than Zoom is sending and receiving. This is how much bandwidth your internet connection can provide, in both directions. Go to Speedtest, click the GO button, it runs a test for a minute, and you get your download and upload speed, in Mbps. Obvious, right? But how to check?įirst, you need to know the speed of your internet connection.
And your internet connection needs to have more upload bandwidth than you are sending in Zoom. Your internet connection needs to have more download bandwidth than you are recieving in Zoom.
