We use a Push-to-talk button
to keep communication clear
and reduce background noise.

This means your microphone
will only be active when you
press and hold the button or
spacebar.

Use a headset and activate
the "Open mic" switch to
communicate without using
the Push-to-talk constantly.

Mirror requires a minimum internet
upload speed of 10 Mbps.

When you have low bandwidth
conditions, switch to Low data mode
to reduce your minimum upload
speed to 2.5 Mbps.

This will result in a lower quality
of streaming and recording, but it
should still allow for adequate
connectivity.
