Take your network\u2019s temperature<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting started, you\u2019ll probably want to check to see how ready your network is to handle high-quality connections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/the-best-video-conferencing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video conferencing software<\/a> like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral Video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019ll be able to have video calls with tens or even hundreds of people, so you\u2019ll need a strong internet connection for that:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"Introducing RingCentral Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r09vPFM0RVM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Of course, it\u2019s always a good idea to make sure your internet connection is strong as can be!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, do what you can to strengthen your existing network connection. Here are a few ways to do that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 15px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to have a high speed DSL, cable, or fiber optic connection\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pause all active downloads or uploads to free up bandwidth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicate specific upload and download bandwidth for your video meeting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn off or close non-essential apps and windows using up bandwidth in the background<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distribute necessary traffic and other users to other internet networks to lighten the load<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then you\u2019ll want to test your connection capacity and connection quality to get a better sense of how to hold high-quality video meetings.

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to make sure you run the test while your network is active.
