Internet speed

Make sure you're connected to the internet through a cable. This ensures stability during the live broadcast, which is a must for hosting webinars. Wi-Fi is less reliable when it comes to stability.

Each presenter has their own connection to the webinar. The minimum required upload speed for the each presenter in a webinar with multiple presenters is about 250 kilobytes per second (2 Mbps).

If you are connected to multiple presenters, you will also need a sufficient download speed, up to 100KBps (800Kbps). We automatically scale the reception down if that is necessary for your computer or your internet speed.

Supported computers

Streaming can be very demanding of a system, which is why we recommend using modern computers to host your webinars.

Our advice when it comes to your device being 'modern enough' is as follows:

  • A desktop computer that’s maximum 5 years old, or

  • A laptop that’s maximum 3 or 4 years old.

Please note! This differs per device, as each device has different specifications. If you're unsure if your system will suffice, feel free to ask us on the live chat.

Supported operating systems

To present a webinar you’ll need one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 10 or higher

  • Mac: OS X Mojave 10.14 (latest update) or higher

  • Linux: Ubuntu 10.04+, Debian 8+, openSUSE 13.1+ or Fedora Linux 21+

Supported browsers

All popular browsers are supported by WebinarGeek.

  • Google Chrome: Latest two versions or higher (including derivatives like Edge and Opera). Click here to see the most recent version.

  • Firefox 78 and above

If you’re already using the Google Chrome browser, you can check your current version in the top right of your browser by clicking the three dots, and choosing 'Help' > 'About Google Chrome'.
