To ensure a smooth process, make sure to check each requirement before your session:
Supported Browsers
Use the latest version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox, or any of the last three versions.
Internet Connection
Speed Test: Run a speed test (Talview Speed Test) to ensure a minimum speed of 5 Mbps for both download and upload.
Wired Connection: If possible, use a wired connection to avoid disruptions; avoid public networks for better security.
Computer Requirements
Operating System: Ensure you have Windows 10 or above, or macOS 12.7.6 or above.
Device: Use a personal laptop or desktop for a seamless experience with the latest supported operating system version.
Lighting
Make sure you’re in a well-lit area to ensure clear video quality.
Hardware
Ensure your device has a working camera and microphone. You can test these at webcammictest.com.
If you're unable to proceed after testing, check if camera and microphone permissions are enabled at the system level:
On Windows:
Open the Start menu > Go to Settings > Privacy & security > App permissions.
Camera: Click on "Camera" > Toggle the switch for your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) to "On".
Microphone: Click on "Microphone" > Toggle the switch for your browser to "On".
On macOS
Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera or Microphone.
Toggle the permission to "On" for each app that requires access.
