- Troubleshooting on Your Own
-
If you are on hold waiting to connect to support for Zoom or Canvas, you can try some things that might immediately help you solve a problem.
- Try connecting your laptop or desktop to the internet via ethernet instead of via WiFi.
- Turn off video in the videoconference and use only audio.
- Check your residence’s bandwidth and Wi-Fi coverage; a stable internet connection of 10Mb/s for download and 3Mb/s for upload (or greater) is recommended. If watching videos or taking part in a web conference is difficult, you may need to notify your instructor.
