When attending our events you will be streaming video and interactive 360 environments, which can be demanding on your computer or mobile device. The following guidance will help you get the best from your immersive virtual experience.
• Close unwanted windows and Apps – including any other video conferencing Apps like Zoom or MS Teams as these can cause conflicts when accessing your camera and microphone.
• Close unwanted tabs in your Chrome browser – our platforms run direct from your browser and having lots of tabs open can use excessive memory which will effect your computers performance.
• If you are presenting we advise the use of a microphone/headset, a smartphone earpiece with a mic will work fine. We do not recommend bluetooth devices as these sometimes have interference and can have connection problems.
• If you are joining the event on camera you will need a Webcam. This will be built into your laptop, or if you have a desktop you may require a USB webcam.
• A screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or higher is recommended for the best experience. Go to System preferences > Display (Mac) or Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Screen resolution (PC). Don’t worry! A lower resolution will still work ok.
