What Network Metrics Are Reasonable?

The following ranges usually do not noticeably affect the meeting experience. Actual experience may still be affected by momentary network fluctuations and averages. Background metric monitoring runs once per minute.

Audio

When someone is speaking, use the following metrics as reference. When there is no audio, bitrate, microphone, and speaker metrics may be low.

Video

Actual bitrate, resolution, and frame rate are affected by device performance and network status. The following uses camera video as an example.

MobileUplink: 0.8-2.0 Mbps; Downlink: 0.5-4.0 MbpsUp to 720p

Sharing

Actual bitrate, resolution, and frame rate are affected by device performance and network status.
