Live Video Broadcast Tips

Internet Connection

If you experience any problems when using live video conferencing, the first thing to check is the speed of your Internet connection. If you are broadcasting your video to other's, check that the UPLOAD speed is sufficient. If you are only viewing another person or person's live video, check that the DOWNLOAD speed is sufficient.

Bandwidth Efficiency Tips

Using a light background reduces the amount of bandwidth required when broadcasting video, and requires less processing from the webcam. A well-lite room produces the best quality image. Dark backgrounds and poorly-lite rooms require more bandwidth and place a higher demand on the webcam. This often results in poor image quality and requires a faster Internet connection for those receiving the broadcast.
