Test your internet connection speed: http://www.speedtest.net/. Please return to this page after the test to continue reading the recommendations below.
NOTE: If your internet connection speed is on the low end(less than 1Mbps upload), using your browser for the webinar and your phone for audio minimizes the traffic on internet connection. This is called a Conference Call connection. When using a Conference Call option as your audio source, there are two steps involved in hosting your meeting. First you will need to connect to your meeting via browser, and second you will need to dial in to the conference call via the number. For the best phone quality, AnyMeeting recommends using a landline phone to dial into the conference call. Cell phones can cause line noise disruptive to the conference.http://support.anymeeting.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1481955-how-to-use-conference-calling-for-attendees
