Video uses 20+ times the amount of network than voice does. You should also be able to turn it off from coming in.

If you don't need to transmit video, then don't. That will help determine if it is a WiFi issue.Ī Bad Network quality can be very transient caused by many things, such as someone else on your network starting to stream data, or other people at your ISP. Ping and Internet tests all represent small portions of time when compared to a video call. They can see what you are doing and temporarily provide significant amount of bandwidth to make the test look good. Also, ping and network download speeds have known to be cheated upon by some Internet providers. E.g., when I go to a different country for a month and want to test the quality of connection to the nearest Zoom data center in this country. Plus it sounds as f you are pinging a local router, so you have many miles to go before you get to the Teams servers. They should be the same if you are pinging.Ī ping represents a few bytes of data, it can tell you some things but not everything. The features purpose is to let you see and hear what others do without.

The varying WiFi speeds definitely seem to be an indicator. A Zoom test meeting allows you to test your audio and video before you join a meeting. Sounds as if you don't have the best local network connection.
