If your broadband connection cannot cope with video calling, you’ll experience stuttering, broken audio or video, or sync issues. What happens if your broadband is too slow for video calling?

Even with fast broadband, you might struggle if you’re trying to make a Zoom call on a weak Wi-Fi connection, or at the same time as your family or roommates are streaming a movie on Netflix. However, because you’re constantly streaming that data, it’s important that you’re able to maintain a consistent speed, and that you have the necessary bandwidth to cope with the constant stream of audio and video being received and sent. It isn’t necessarily important to have the fastest broadband for Zoom because its speed requirement is actually fairly modest when compared against the speed of typical home broadband services. This means your connection is capable of transferring information at a rate of 120 megabits per second. That will be preceded by a number, such as 120 Mbps. Your broadband speed is measured in bits per second (bps). Why broadband speed matters for video calls
