When using the Audiocasting and Recording features, computer speakers or headphones are needed to hear the audio.
Certain features will require additional network bandwidth. Slower connections will work, but the experience may not be optimal.
| Audiocasting | 136 Kbps |
| Application Sharing | 240 Kbps Average (Auto setting and typical UI update rates) |
| Publishing | Download rate of slide presentation content is proportional to the available bandwidth. The basic 128 Kbps requirement will provide reasonable performance. |
| Videocasting | 50 to 300 Kbps (ideal) |
