Before speaking in or moderating

Browser. Ensure you have the latest Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on Windows, Mac or Android devices. Only Safari (Version 13 or higher) will work on iOS devices, Chrome is not supported. If these requirements are not followed, the caller will see a blue screen and the call will not connect.
Corporate network restrictions. Some networks are heavily locked down and only allow basic web traffic through. This will prevent vMix Call from establishing a connection. Forward this document to your network administrator to ensure special access is given for vMix
Internet speed. When establishing a call, vMix will start sending return audio and video to the caller based on the Video Bandwidth setting when setting up the input in vMix. For better video and audio quality, you need a minimum of 10mbps Upload speed and 50mbps Download speed. Check your internet speed here.
It is recommended to set this to the lowest possible setting (Mobile 300Kbps) when experiencing bad video quality or audio from the caller, as setting this too high may overwhelm the internet on the caller's end and prevent video coming back as a result.
Audio. Test your audio (best practice is to use headphones; this eliminates echoes and background noise) and try not to move your device or rustle any papers while you are speaking.
Video. Check your video; put camera at eye level (put books under computer if needed)
Notifications. Silence any distracting notifications on computer & phone (Do Not Disturb), especially when you are sharing your screen, all notifications can be seen while you are presenting.

Step by step guide for camera screen:

Step1. Paste the link into the latest version of Google Chrome on Windows, Mac and Android devices. Only Safari (ver 13 or higher) will work in iOS devices.
