Network Health

Available Roles: Host, Participant Platforms: Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android Reviewed: 2026-03-14

Network health is the real-time diagnostic layer for the meeting. It tells you whether the problem is likely local, shared, or environmental before you start changing devices, muting video, or blaming the call service.

Latency, loss, bandwidth, and mitigation state help the host decide whether to wait, adapt, or change conditions.

  • Latency for conversational delay.
  • Jitter for unstable timing even when average latency looks acceptable.
  • Packet loss for voice artifacts, freezes, and reconnect pressure.
  • Bandwidth for whether video or share quality is likely to degrade next.
  1. Open the panel when participants report quality trouble.
  2. Compare whether the issue affects one participant or several.
  3. Reduce optional load, such as extra video or screen share, when the metrics show sustained pressure.
  4. Ask the affected participant to change network path only after you confirm the issue looks local.
