- bahmboo 9mo agoI haven't done a video call on it but it does work for youtube. It's best to pause a video at the start but it buffers and plays just fine. Blocky but certainly watchable.
- mattmaroon 9mo agoIf the data speed is sufficient but they’re intentionally throttling video you could maybe get around it a VPN.
- Aurornis 9mo agoZoom works in 500kbps environments in my experience. You won't be in crispy 720p or 1080p, but you can still talk to other people.
- olyjohn 9mo agoI had a shitty DSL line just a couple years ago before Starlink. Maybe 700KBps if I was lucky. Both me and my partner could remotely work on it, run zoom calls at the same time. That said, it is nice to have more bandwidth, but people do vastly overestimate how much they really need.
- userbinator 9mo agobut you can still talk to other people As should be the case, as GSM half-rate works at 5.6kbps (700 bytes per second) and gives intelligible speech.
