Hardware and Software

spreed web meetings can be held on any PC (Windows, Linux, BSD) and Mac (Mac OSX). Additionally, you need a webcam to transfer video and a microphone, headset or a webcam with integrated microphone to transfer audio. We recommend you to use conference systems for best quality und professionality (Yamaha ProjectPhones). Please, try to avoid using the integrated microphone and speakers of your Notebook, Display or Computer. An echo will be caused with that method and your voice can get understandable for the meeting's participants. Use headsets or conference systems for VoIP.
