Bandwidth Requirements

Glance Video will require different amounts of bandwidth depending on a number of factors, with the most important being:

  • Whether or not the viewing is happening in large or small video
  • The number of participants in the session
  • How well the frame will compress

Large video, per participant, starts at 640 x 360 resolution with 24 frames per second. Small video starts at 320 x 180 at 20 frames per second per participant.

The grid below shows expected bandwidth usage per video stream for high quality video:

Grid Type Active Inactive
Large Grid 1.6 Mbps 400 kbps
Small Grid 400 kbps 50 kbps

For example, a visitor and agent in a two person large video session would each use 3.2 Mbps of bandwidth.

In situations of low bandwidth, Glance will automatically reduce the frame rate and the resolution.
