If network conditions prevent the necessary network bandwidth from being secured during a meeting, the audio and video might become distorted or the connection with the other party lost. You can use Bandwidth Status during a meeting to view the network status of the machine and check that the network environment meets the operating requirements for the machine. You can also check that the machine is able to hold meetings normally.
Before using the machine, check the network environment to make sure a sufficient amount of network bandwidth is available.
