Amount of data for online conference

Approximately how much data would be needed to attend a one day online conference - approximately 8 hours. I haven’t been given the mode of communication yet but am assuming it will be a Zoom presentation.

Thanks. We are supposed to be out of town without wifi. I was hoping to use my phone but it looks like I will need to stay home to ensure I have proper access.

We are supposed to be at a cabin for the week but I need to attend the conference. I was hoping to be able to access it with my phone but it looks like I better just stay home to attend.

Well, that can be quite a complex when its comes to estimation. Just arriving at a figure based on the time spent for the webinar may not yield the accurate results. More than the data speed and the number of hours – it should ideally depend upon the contents or composition of your conference.

 

The text and data in a webinar would not consume much data in an hourly session when compared to a meeting where a lot of multimedia content is shared. Studies have indicated that a meeting lasting around one and a half hour should consume around 350 MB ideally.

 

That again would be dependent upon the connection speeds and a host of other aspects. For the sake of arriving at a figure, consider the per hour consumption of cellular data for a WebEx conference usage should range somewhere between 0.5 GB to 1 GB in the ideal cases. So in your case 4-8 GB will be required..

I would use wifi as it will chew up a lot of data.

Will you have access to wifi for your conference ?

A lot. You’re better off finding some free wifi somewhere. I would hazard at least 1GB and hour, though most likely much more.
