*The  bandwidth required depends on the presentation features used:

  • 32 Kbps : Voice + Text
  • 256 Kbps: Video, Whiteboard, Co-Browsing
  • 768 Kbps: Live Screencasting

Microphone Recommendation

We suggest a Headset/Microphone combination like the Logitech ClearChat Style Headset or a Plantronics PC Headset. Having the microphone integrated into a headset keeps it a fixed distance from the speaker’s mouth, resulting in more consistent audio volume and quality. Audio feedback is not a problem with Web Meet Live, therefore it is fine to pair external speakers with a headset/mic combo.

Webcam Recommendation

For Windows users, we suggest one of the inexpensive webcams from Logitech or Microsoft. For example, the Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000. For Mac users we suggest using the integrated iSight camera.
