Zoom: I am struggling with poor performance when learning from home, what can I check?
Learning form home relies on a good internet connection, there are times of the day when this may slow down which could be contributing to poor experience when zooming into classes. A good connection is needed for zoom, anything with a download and upload speed of 4-5 Mbps. The higher the number the better the connection. If multiple people are using the internet at the same time this may also be a factor in why performance may be poor.
