# Bandwidth Requirements

Following are the bandwidth requirements for using various features of the MiTeam Meetings mobile application.

## Upload Bandwidth (Send)

No. of Participants | Audio | Video
--- | --- | ---
|  | HD | SD
1-6 | 19 kbps | 1650 kbps Note: HD video mode will not be available if you have more than 7 video tiles during a meeting. | 1050 kbps
7-12 | 19 kbps |  | 1000 kbps
13 or more | 19 kbps |  | 200 kbps

## Download Bandwidth (Receive)

No. of Participants | Audio | Video
--- | --- | ---
|  | HD | SD
1-6 | 19 kbps | 1400 * ( n-1) kbps Note: HD video mode will not be available if you have more than 7 video tiles during a meeting. | 800 * ( n-1) kbps
7-12 | 19 kbps |  | 800 * ( n-1) kbps
13 or more | 19 kbps |  | 200 * ( n-1) kbps
Note: n is the number of participants in a meeting.

The upload and download bandwidth mentioned in the table are the maximum values obtained during testing. The actual values will vary depending on the following factors:

- The resolution of the camera used for the meeting.
- The type of camera used for the meeting.
- The user’s Internet speed.
- The actual bandwidth utilization of other activities during the meeting such as desktop sharing or screen sharing.

Note: Using Active Talker further increases the download bandwidth because this feature tile alone requires 1600 kbps of bandwidth.

Bandwidth requirements depend on the number of participants in a meeting, and the features that are being used by the participants during the meeting (HD video, screen share, and so on).

For example, in a meeting involving 3 participants with only audio and HD video enabled, bandwidth usage for a single participant is as follows:

- Upload bandwidth: 19 kbps + 1650 kbps = 1669 kbps
- Download bandwidth: 19 kbps + (1400 * (3-1)) kbps = 2819 kbps

Note: When calculating the bandwidth for any meeting involving more than 8 participants, you must keep the number of participants as 8 because you cannot have more than 8 video tiles in a meeting.
