Short answerConsumption depends on the total incoming and outgoing bitrate. At 2 Mbps, one hour of transmission corresponds to about 0.9 GB without overhead. Enter your values into the calculator: the example is not a standard for Zoom or another application.

Why you can’t call all the calls for one cost.

Video resolution, number of participants, screen demo, and adaptive quality change bitrate, and the app can reduce the quality when communication deteriorates and improve it again, so the finished figure "one hour is always equal to one gigabyte" is unreliable.

To calculate the total bitrate: how much data the device receives and sends together. If the statistics of the application show 1.2 Mbit / s per reception and 0.8 Mbit / s per send, enter 2 Mbit / s.

How to check the forecast on the phone

  1. Take a look at the mobile data meter before you call, and make sure the device is using the right network.
  2. Make a regular call, such as ten minutes, without downloading files in parallel.
  3. Compare the meter readings and separately estimate the consumption of other applications.
  4. For the next calculation, use the average bitrate from the application statistics or recalculate the observed volume by time.

The operator can take into account latency traffic, the result of the phone and the rest of the package in the personal account are not necessarily updated simultaneously, and the terms of special packages may also differ from the usual sum counter.

Day, local and special packages

Some tariffs have a daily speed limit, a separate package for applications, night or local gigabytes, the calculator counts the physical amount of data and does not know the terms of your tariff, the balance of the total package and the rest of the special package must be checked with the operator.

If the speed drops at about the same time, first compare it with the exhaustion of the quota. This is especially useful for daily packages: persistently low speed and random cliffs are different symptoms. stability.

Megabits, megabytes and stock

In a byte, eight bits. At decimal units of 2 Mbps, in 3,600 seconds, you get 900 million bytes, or 0.9 GB. A 10% margin raises the score to 0.99 GB; it's set by you, and it's not a measured characteristic of the application.

On a small packet, don't run multiple-heavy speed tests. The calculator itself doesn't generate test traffic. To send a video, also check the microphone and outgoing speed if the packet and connection quality allow.
