Zoom, Meet, Teams — why does it freeze? We tell you.
Video calls need MORE bandwidth than voice but also more sustained quality. Zoom HD needs ~3 Mbps sustained with jitter < 30 ms; Teams HD ~2.5 Mbps; Meet HD ~3 Mbps. Drop below those and the call degrades visibly.
We measure the actual sustained throughput and the quality metrics (jitter, loss) under realistic conditions, then tell you if your connection is video-call-ready.
Most users don't realize that upload — not download — is the bottleneck for video calls.
Zoom recommends 3 Mbps up + down for HD video, 1.5 Mbps for SD. Most Indian plans give plenty of download but only 10-30 Mbps upload — usually still enough.
Video uses more bandwidth, so when bandwidth drops video drops first while audio survives. Indicates intermittent loss or bursty jitter.
