If you opt to use a Computer, you will also need a Webcam and a Microphone. Most modern Laptops have these built in but if yours does not, they can be purchased inexpensively from places like Argos, Curry’s, Amazon etc.

Logitech and Microsoft Webcams are recommended with the Logitech C270 being a very good budget option and a Logitech C920 a more high-end option.

 

You will also need an internet connection with a minimum speed of 0.6Mbps both up and down to run Zoom smoothly, 1.5Mbps is recommended in order to guarantee the highest quality video and audio.

 

* Smartphones can be used as a temporary measure but a Computer or Tablet is strongly recommended.
