Best Practices
- Do not record a meeting if it is not necessary or required.
- If it is to be recorded, record it in the cloud rather than locally. Local recording will impact end user internet connectivity.
- Leverage audio conference as much as possible rather than doing both audio and video unless necessary or required.
- Limit the use of audio bridge (calling in to a zoom meeting via a phone) because voice network may impact the audio latency for voice call participants.
