We have been busy ramping up, testing web-conferencing software, adding service offerings and much more! I hope you noticed our Helpful Gadgets page. The first gadget is a Broadband Speed checker. It tests both your download and upload speeds. Other factors that may effect presenter and attendee experiences are transfer rates, networks, and latency. It is also very important to note that your bandwidth speed is affected by what web-conferencing platform you use. Why? The short answer: Different web-conferencing platforms have different server locations. The more servers they have, the more likely one is located closer to you physically. The better the performance. More on that later.
First in this post let’s understand what we are talking about. The next post will talk about how to improve performance. And finally, a post to talk about the “why this matters” and how this affects which web-conferencing software platform to use for your online event.
