End-User Requirements for Web Conferencing in Cisco

This section refers to end-user requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Scheduling deployment options. For Cisco WebEx Scheduling deployments, see the end-user requirements on the Cisco WebEx .

Make sure that user workstations meet the client requirements in this section, or provide these requirements to your users. All client machines must have separate Internet and telephony access for attending voice and web meetings. The recommended minimum bandwidth for web conferencing is a 56K modem connection. A lesser connection can slow down web-conferencing performance.
