Technical notes and requirements

Technical requirements and recommendations

• Only desktop Chrome-based browsers are supported, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (79+), Opera or Brave. We also recommend using 64-bit versions of these browsers for improved memory management.
• Wired headphones and external microphone (see our suggestions)
• SpotMe's domains and services allowed to pass through the network firewall.

We also recommend that speakers perform the following prior to speaking at a session:

• Close all apps and browser tabs not needed during the presentation.
• Restart the PC before the session.
• Clear the browser’s cache, disable browser extensions, and disable hardware acceleration (Instructions for Chrome and Microsoft Edge).

Network recommendations

• At least 10mbps upload and download speed (test on fast.com)
• Wired internet connection.

Hardware recommendations

Known limitations

• Switching browser tabs or windows may reduce the quality of the speaker's web cam.
• After opening a room and starting the video conference, it may take up to a minute for the "Go live" button to become clickable.
• When adding/removing speakers from the broadcast, it will take 1-2 seconds for the speaker names (labels) to adjust to the new positions in the live stream.
• When clicking "Go live", up to last few seconds of the conference might be broadcasted to viewers. As a workaround, add your camera to the broadcast 30 seconds after you click "go live".
