If you're using Zoom for connectivity, here's the list of internet data speeds you'll need based on the quality.

 Since the Covid-19 virus first spread, we've seen a surge in demand for communication applications, especially those used in meetings, as the virus has turned ordinary meetings into "remote" meetings. Perhaps you still use this service and need to have group discussions from time to time.

Many people, particularly in the Middle east, use companies that offer you a specific data volume, and this is due to the low Upload rate of communication companies associated with your country, as well as frequent interruptions... etc.

In this scenario, you may need to purchase an Internet package prior to the start of the meeting, but you will wonder how many GB I will need before the end of the meeting. Today, we'll go over the full list of data zoom service usage, so you can figure out how much internet you'll need to keep the meeting running smoothly.

The value of the hourly data that you need according to the quality and form of broadcast is shown in the following :

For one-on-one meetings, use the following format:

  • 540MB/h for SD 480P medium quality video.
  • 1.08Gbps for HD 720P video.
  • Up to 1.62Gbps for full HD 1080P video.


Regarding group meetings:

  • SD 480P medium quality video: 810MB / h
  • HD 720P video: approx.1.35Gbps.
  • Full HD 1080P video: up to 2,475Gbps.


And finally, voice calls:

  • In the case of a voice call, Audio: from 27 MB-36 MB / h.
  • Screen Sharing: 22.5 Mbps.
  • Screen share + thumbnail: 67.5 MB / h.

It's worth remembering that this data comes from the company Zoom; while it's obvious that it will change in the future when new changes are released, it's more interesting to change it up rather than up.
