Minimum connection requirements

We recommended a minimum connection speed of at least 4Mbps download and 2.5Mbps upload to ensure a stable, good quality video call.

A stable connection below 150ms latency is recommended, if your connection is consistently 300ms or higher, participants may notice a delay.

Camera and microphone permissions

When you join an interview on Evidenced for the first time you'll need to review and accept the camera and microphone permissions in order for us to add you to the video call.
