Note that audio and video for attendees are automatically disabled during the webinar.
Improving Your Zoom Connection
- Use the best Internet connection you can. Wired connections are better than wireless (Wi-Fi or cellular) connections. Wi-Fi connections are better than cellular (3G/4G/LTE) connections. Join Zoom from a location where you can use fast, reliable Internet connection. If joining using a Wi-Fi connection, generally this location should be as close to the wireless router as possible.
- Close other, unneeded applications on your computer. Zoom meetings can demand significant memory and processing power from your computer. Closing applications you do not need during the session will help Zoom run better.
- Don't start other bandwidth-intensive activities just before, or during, a Zoom meeting. Avoid sizable downloading/loading, streaming video (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube), file synchronizations, and other high-bandwidth activities.
- Go to https://zoom.us/test and check your internet connection, audio, and video. (If the audio isn’t working, make sure your computer volume is turned up.)
If you are experiencing technical difficulties, we recommend you visit the Zoom Help Center for additional assistance.
