Troubleshooting: System connectivity test

The system connectivity test tests your set-up to ensure you have a smooth recording. 

It tests your browser, audio device, video device, signal connection, and media connection. The graph indicates the marginal available speed on your device required for the recording. Please note that this is not testing your total internet speed.

Video device

Unable to get access to your camera.

Please make sure your camera is connected and is not being used by another application.

Signal Connection

Unable to connect to the Riverside server for real time communication.

Media Connection

Your network connection is blocking UDP media traffic.

You are forced to use TCP to connect, which may impact the live call's audio and video quality.

Your network connection is restricting media traffic.

Your traffic has to flow through a relay server, which may reduce audio and video quality during the live call.

Your network connection is showing signs of low or restricted bandwidth.

This may reduce audio and video quality during the live call but will not impact the recorded files.

Use a more stable internet connection, like a wired ethernet connection, or try to move closer to your wireless router.

If you are on a network with a firewall or other security measures, follow the steps below:

Your network connection is showing signs of high packet loss.

This may reduce audio and video quality during the live call but will not impact the recorded files.

Use a more stable internet connection, like a wired ethernet connection, or try to move closer to your wireless router.

Your network connection is showing signs of high latency.

This may reduce audio and video quality during the live call but will not impact the recorded files.

Use a more stable internet connection, like a wired ethernet connection, or try to move closer to your wireless router.
