Technical requirements
The video chat uses the system's default microphone and camera (they can be external but need to be set as default).
The video chat performance depends on CPU, RAM, and network connection. If your video stream is freezing or lagging please check your CPU in the Task Manager (when you are using video chat and when not, when you have other apps working and when not) to see the capacity.
The network connection can be checked at Cloudharmony.com. You will only need the test for Amazon EC2 (eu-west-1). The following points are important:
Generally, if your results answer our system requirements, the chat should be working smoothly. If your device complies with the requirements, but the video chat underperforms, please reach out to support@miro.com.
