Zoom - PC Requirements

In order to have online Greek lessons, your will need the following:

  • Zoom software.  You can download Zoom free of charge.  You may test zoom after installing it.

  • A high-speed internet connection.  You need at least 1.2 Mbps (up/down) for 720p HD video, 1.8 Mbps (up/down) for 1080p HD video (see Zoom bandwidth requirements). You can use the following link to test the speed of your internet connection: Speedtest.net.

  • A PC/laptop.  It is preferable if you can connect it with a cable to the router, instead of wifi.  This will provide a faster and more stable connection.

  • Alternatively you can use a tablet or smartphone, although we do not recommend it.  In this case you are using wifi, so please stay close to the router to have a more stable connection.
