Calculating Bandwidth for Video Conferencing Network Requirements
To ensure the best video conferencing experience, it is essential to understand your video conferencing network requirements. Bandwidth represents the capacity of your connection. Depending on data transmission, your bandwidth is shared between outbound and inbound streams, which may significantly differ.
Below you can find inbound and outbound requirements which guarantee the best possible video conferencing quality. However, by using TrueConf you can be sure that your stream rate always adjusts to your network conditions, as our solutions are based on Scalable Video Coding (SVC).
HD Video Call is a great way to communicate face-to-face using up-to-date communication technologies.
| Bandwidth required, Kbps | Server | Client | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data flow | Inbound | Outbound | Inbound | Outbound |
| SD | 256 | 256 | 128 | 128 |
| HQ | 512 | 512 | 256 | 256 |
| ED | 1024 | 1024 | 512 | 512 |
| HD | 2048 | 2048 | 1024 | 1024 |
| FullHD | 4096 | 4096 | 2048 | 2048 |
WebRTC Video Conferences
WebRTC Video Conferences allow to organize streaming for up to 100 participants through web browsers. Please check additional bandwidth requirements if you would like to add more guests into your conference.
| Bandwidth required, Mbps | Server | Client | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data flow | Inbound | Outbound | Inbound | Outbound |
| 10 participants | 5 | 7 | 0.7 | 0.5 |
| 50 participants | 25 | 35 | 0.7 | 0.5 |
Notes: We recommend to have 50% extra capacity communication channel to ensure maximum performance.
