Best Practices

  • Do not record a meeting if it is not necessary or required.
  • If it is to be recorded, record it in the cloud rather than locally. Local recording will impact end user internet connectivity.
  • Leverage audio conference as much as possible rather than doing both audio and video unless necessary or required.
  • Limit the use of audio bridge (calling in to a zoom meeting via a phone) because voice network may impact the audio latency for voice call participants.
