How Much Data Does A Zoom Meeting Use

To avoid your face freezing midconversation and your voice suddenly remixing into a weird Daft Punk song, you’ll want sufficient internet data for your Zoom conversations to run smoothly. Let’s answer how much data does a Zoom meeting use. For 1:1 video calling:

 600kbps (up/down) for high quality video 1.2 Mbps (up/down) for 720p HD video Receiving 1080p HD video requires 1.8 Mbps (up/down) Sending 1080p HD video requires 1.8 Mbps (up/down)     

For group video calling:

 600kbps/1.0Mbps (up/down) for high quality video Gallery receiving view: 2.0Mbps (25 views) and 4.0Mbps (49 views) 1080p HD video requires 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down) 720p HD video requires 2.6Mbps/1.8Mbps (up/down)     

For screen sharing only (no video thumbnail): 50–75kbps

 For screen sharing with video thumbnail: 50–150kbps For audio VoiP: 60–80kbps     

For webinar attendees: 

For panelists with their video on: High-quality video: 600kbps  720p HD video: 1.2-1.8Mbps(down) 1080p HD video: 2-3Mbps Screen sharing only (no video thumbnail): 50-7kbps(down) Screen sharing with video thumbnail: 50-150kbps(down)

For Zoom Phone: 60–100kbps

 1 megabit (MB) = 1000 kilobytes (Kb) 1 megabyte (MB) = 8 megabits (Mb) 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,000 megabytes (MB)     

Now that we’ve got an idea of the measurements, let’s take a closer look at how much data Zoom uses depending upon the quality of your stream, and how many people are in the meeting.
