Typical Root Causes

  • low or inconsistent upload speed
  • high latency/jitter during peak traffic
  • weak WiFi where meetings are held
  • background uploads competing with calls

Fast Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Run one meeting test on Ethernet (if possible).
  2. Pause backups/uploads before calls.
  3. Move closer to the router or improve placement.
  4. Compare call quality at midday vs evening.

See work-from-home requirements for target planning.

When the Connection Is the Issue

If calls freeze repeatedly despite setup changes, the line or plan may not be stable enough for real-time communication. That is where first-class connection quality matters more than headline speed alone.

FAQ

Why does Zoom freeze even when speed tests look okay?
Calls are highly sensitive to jitter and upload consistency, not just download peaks.

Does WiFi matter that much for meetings?
Yes. Weak WiFi often causes call freezing even on otherwise decent plans.

Is this usually worse at night?
Often yes, because concurrent household use and shared-network congestion increase.
