What is the minimum required internet speed to watch videos within courses?

Internet speed and watching courses


For streaming video, 512kbps is the absolute minimum and 768kbps or greater is recommended.

2Mbps is the recommended minimum for full screen and produces very good quality of video.

For true HD quality, 5Mbps is recommended.

Our video players dynamically adjust which quality of video is served to you based on your internet connection speed, so that we can deliver a continuous stream regardless of connection speed.

If you’re having problems that might be related to internet speed, try:

  • Using a LAN connection (wired) instead of a wireless connection; this can improve internet speed in many cases
  • Close all streaming video or music open on your computer
