Response from Joseph Minero of StartMeeting

Thank you for your honest review Morgan! Due to an increase in people working from home, you may experience internet speed issues caused by network congestion and that will affect your video conferences. Some tips we recommend is having your computer connected to the internet via an ethernet cable instead of WiFi. You may also want to limit the devices in your household connected to your internet during your video conferences.
