Bandwidth Requirements

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

Upload Bandwidth (Send)

No. of Participants	Audio	Video
		HD	SD
1-6	19 kbps	1650 kbps Note: HD video mode will not be available if you have more than 7 video tiles during a meeting.	1050 kbps
7-12	19 kbps		1000 kbps
13 or more	19 kbps		200 kbps

Download Bandwidth (Receive)

No. of Participants	Audio	Video
		HD	SD
1-6	19 kbps	1400 * ( n-1) kbps Note: HD video mode will not be available if you have more than 7 video tiles during a meeting.	800 * ( n-1) kbps
7-12	19 kbps		800 * ( n-1) kbps
13 or more	19 kbps		200 * ( n-1) kbps
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 (HD video, screen share, and so on).

For example, in a meeting involving 3 participants with only audio and HD video enabled, bandwidth usage for a single participant is as follows:

Upload bandwidth: 19 kbps + 1650 kbps = 1669 kbps
Download bandwidth: 19 kbps + (1400 * (3-1)) kbps = 2819 kbps

Note: When calculating the bandwidth for any meeting involving more than 8 participants, you must keep the number of participants as 8 because you cannot have more than 8 video tiles in a meeting.
