How much bandwidth does Yodeck use?
Updated over a week ago

Yodeck is an online service. So, Internet access is required for your Player to be managed properly.

When a player is connected to the internet, a continuous connection between the player and our servers is established. That connection is responsible for managing the player and updating the player's status in the Yodeck dashboard. It does not require more than 300MB/month.

What happens when I push content to a player?

The media content videos(not the streams), images, documents, sound files(not the streams), and a few static widgets are downloaded locally to the player. So, the data usage will be related to how many and the size of the files you plan to use.

If, for example, you have video files, images, and documents that you would like to display and their total size is 2 GB, the players will download these data once (2GB) and nothing else (except, of course, the 300MB/month that mentioned in the beginning).

If the content that will be pushed contains streams, web pages, and dynamic widgets, then the total bandwidth needed is related to that content and cannot be clarified.

⚠️IMPORTANT

If you are on a metered/limited Internet connection (e.g., mobile carrier or per-traffic / per-hour access), please contact us to ensure you can use our service over those Internet connections.
