Bandwidth Requirements

Following are the bandwidth requirements for using various features of the MiTeam Meetings application.

Upload Bandwidth (Send)

No. of Participants	Audio	Video	Screen Share
2 or more	54 kbps	1600 kbps	1200 kbps

Download Bandwidth (Receive)

No. of Participants	Audio	Video	Screen Share
2-16	54 kbps	1600 + (( n-2) * 400) kbps	1200 kbps
Note: Note: n is the number of participants in a meeting.

The upload and download bandwidth mentioned in the table are the maximum values obtained during testing. The actual values will vary depending on the following factors:

The resolution of the camera used for the meeting.
The type of camera used for the meeting.
The user’s Internet speed.
The actual bandwidth utilization of other activities during the meeting such as desktop sharing or screen sharing.

Note:

Using Active Talker further increases the download bandwidth because this feature tile alone requires 1600 kbps of bandwidth.

Bandwidth requirements depend on the number of participants in a meeting, and the features that are being used by the participants during the meeting (video, screen share, and so on.)

Note:

For example, in a meeting involving 3 participants with only audio and video enabled, bandwidth usage for a single participant is as follows:
- Upload bandwidth: 54 kbps + 1600 kbps = 1654 kbps
- Download bandwidth: 54 kbps + (1600 + (3-2) * 400) kbps = 2054 kbps
When calculating the bandwidth for any meeting involving more than 16 participants, you must keep the number of participants as 16 because you cannot have more than 16 video tiles in a meeting.
