Bandwidth Requirements
The bandwidth used by Collab Spaces will be optimised for the best experience based on the participants’ network. It will automatically adjust for 3G, WiFi or Wired environments.
We do not recommend connecting by 2.4 wifi because of radio noise and bluetooth interference that can lower your connection quality

For group video calling: 500kbps/1Mbps (up/down)
For screen sharing only: 50-200kbps (up/down)
For audio VoiP: 50kbps
Recommended bandwidth for single broadcast viewers

Firewall Configuration
For Collab Spaces to work correctly, the following ports need to be open in your firewall:
443/TCP (required)
10000-20000/UDP + TCP (optional, recommended)
All parameters are default and may vary depending on the configuration of the enterprise account
