We are planning on running a "virtual mentoring" club at a youth community center this fall. Students will each join a zoom session on their laptop w/ headphones and talk with mentors in a breakout room, and will be occasionally screen sharing with their mentors.
We are trying to determine if the network at the community center can handle this bandwidth. On Zoom’s website, they state the minimum bandwidth requirements are 1-3 Mbps up/down (depending on quality used). If we’re estimating up to 15 students on WiFi, what’s the best way to test the quality of the network? Is the bandwidth requirement additive (ie, would 15-30mb up/down be sufficient for 15 students)? Also, how might latency factor into things? We plan to go on site soon to test things out, but we want to come prepared.
