Getting the
Best Experience
for end-users
The service is designed to cope with a variety of network and endpoint deficiencies and still deliver quality audio and video. However, we’ve discovered a few things you can do to help ensure you get the best possible experience. Here are some tips we think you’ll find helpful: Use a wired network connection when possible and disable wireless (Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n). Use recommended audio/video devices to prevent echo and other audio/video issues. Plug each device (camera, microphone, etc.) directly into one of your computer’s USB ports whenever possible rather than a USB hub (whether it’s one you added to your computer or it’s built into your flat panel monitor or your laptop’s docking station).
If you’re using a laptop, avoid running on battery—it reduces performance and video quality. If your computer has a Power Plan (all Windows and Mac laptops do), choose “High Performance.” Make sure you have the latest drivers (like the latest DirectX video driver, if you’re a
Windows user) for the devices you use during the videoconference, such as your camera, microphone etc.
