Find requirements on your bandwidth and system on this
site, so that you can use Spreed Web Meetings without any
problems. |

|
To host and participate in Spreed Web Meetings you simply
need a web browser. There is no additional
software required. However, to meet without any
problems, please make sure that your system complies with the
requirements:
A good and stable Internet connection is important for
successful web meetings. Please make sure that your upload is
at least 250 kbit/s and your download is at least 512 kbit/s
when using Spreed.
Also, please ask all participants to test their connection
before the meeting starts, so to prevent problems. A
connection test is provided here.
Please take note, that with some firewall settings the
communication between your desktop and the server goes
through a "HTTP proxy" server. Depending on your available
Internet bandwidth and the speed of the Proxy server, audio
and video can be delayed. If the latency (the delay) is
higher than 200ms you should speak with your system
administrator to enable TCP port 1935 (outgoing only) to let
Spreed communicating faster. In rare cases "stateful
firewalls" may interrupt the Spreed connection after some
amount of data has been transferred. Contact your system
administrator in this case.

Use a headset or a conference system (e.g.

combination with loud speakers (e.g. on a notebook) due to
the lack of echo canceling.
 Recommended
conference systems
To enable video in a Spreed Web Meeting you will need a
web-cam. We recommend integrated web-cams, as is Apple
iSight, as well as Logitech web-cams (e.g. Quickcam Pro 9000,
Logitech Quickcam Pro for notebooks). If using a logitec,
please try not to install the additional software but only
use the web-cam's driver.
