Estimating Bandwidth Consumption in Connect Meetings
The following tables may be used for estimating the amount of bandwidth that will be required for a Connect Meeting based on the features used.
Screen Share:
| Screen Share | Frame Rate | Quality | Bandwidth (kbps) |
|
| Low | 2 | 65 | 500 | |
| Medium | 4 | 80 | 800 | |
| Standard | 6 | 90 | 1200 | |
| High | 8 | 100 | 2000 |
VoIP:
With reference to VoIP, it is independent of any settings. There is no metric comparable to frame rate or quality or bandwidth with VoIP; a single metric of micRate is used. Currently we use following values:
| Number of VoIP users | Without UV | With UV | |
| <4 | 22 kHz | 22 kHz | |
| >=4 | 11 kHz | 8 kHz |
Note: In a simple test during which a song was played via VoIP for a single user, up bandwidth consumed was 44 kbps when the number of VoIP users was < 4.
Webcam video:
| Webcam Video | Frame Rate | Resolution | Quality | Bandwidth (kbps) |

| Normal | Widescreen | ||||
| Low | 4 | 160×120 | 214×120 | 70 | 200 |
| Medium | 4 | 320×240 | 427×240 | 70 | 300 |
| Standard | 8 | 320×240 | 427×240 | 70 | 300 |
| High | 20 | 640×480 | 854×480 | 90 | 600 |
