What are the system requirements?
Most desktop and laptop computers purchased within the past few years will support the Pathable platform and allow you to take part in the event. The following are recommended:
Operating System
- Mac: Mac OSX 10.7 or later
- Windows: Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7, Vista (SP1 or later), XP (SP3 or later)
- Ubuntu: 12.04 or later
- Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 or higher
Web Browsers
We strongly recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. Due to limitations within Zoom, attendees in Safari, Firefox, or other browsers may experience difficulty.
Internet Connection
We recommend an internet connection with a minimum of 1.5 Mbps upload time, though you’ll get the best performance witha 3+ Mbps upload. Please note that your average wireless speeds are typically lower than your internet service provider’s advertised speeds. You can use speedtest.net to test your speeds on your computer.
Optional Hardware
The camera, microphone and speakers on most computers will be adequate to support the Pathable experience. However, you can optimize your experience by using an external webcam and a headset with a microphone.
Mobile Web / Smartphone
While most people opt to attend the conference from a laptop or desktop computer, you can take part in the conference with a smartphone. Recommended browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
