What are the Internet bandwidth requirements for NTRmeeting meetings (VoIP, video and presentation)?
The required Internet bandwidth depends on the number of participants within the meeting. For audio communication (VoIP) a minimum bandwidth of approx. 20kBit/s (0.02Mbit/s) times the number of speakers will be required. For video and audio an upstream bandwidth between of approx. 0.16MBit/s (depending on video quality) and 0.16MBit/s times the [number of conference participants – 1) downstream bandwidth is required. Example: for a NTRmeeting conference with 5 participants where each participant transmits both audio and video, each participant requires 0.16MBit/s connection speed to the server (upstream) and 0,6MBit/s downstream bandwidth. Screensharing Normally the amount of data transfer needed to share a whole desktop is between 200Kbs and 1Mbs depending on the resolution and color depth of your desktop. In rare cases, for example when you are showing full screen videos and close and open windows continuously, this could go up to 3Mbs.
