Data for Zoom Streaming

[Bingka_486]

Hello.  I need to stream an event over Zoom for about an hour.  How much data will I need?  Thank you.

Zoom uses roughly 540MB-1.62 GB of data per hour for a one-on-one call, and 810MB-2.4 GB per hour for group meetings. Mobile users will likely consume slightly less data due to Zoom optimizing its bandwidth based on your connection.

and turn off background data, to save your data.

when your data limit used all, is will be off until next renewal cycle,

@fdrcamb519 should be possible..

1. Open the Zoom app on your iPhone or Android phone or computer.
2. Then click on the Settings option ( Gear icon at the bottom navigation of the Zoom App ). This option is only present on some versions of the Zoom App for desktop or Mac or iPhones.
3. Then Choose the Video quality settings and click on the Enable HD option checkbox.
4. This will enable a higher video quality stream from your device.

@softech  I don’t think you can change the zoom streaming resolution

That's a Zoom issue, not something Public Mobile can provide information on.

Data usage of Zoom depends on many variables, like video call vs voice only, quality of the video stream, how many people are in the conversation... 

In the early days of the pandemic I had one conference call (3 people) of less than an hour that used nearly 2.5GB...

Edited to add that I use Zoom over WiFi only these days.

@Bingka_486   roughly speaking

1.08 GB/Hour on group calls with video set to 720p resolution.

2.5 GB/hour  on calls with video set to 1080p resolution

500 MB/hour  on calls with SD resolutions
