# System requirements

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

The system requirements for Video SDK for desktop (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and mobile (Android, iOS) are the same as those for the Zoom Meeting app for [desktop](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060748) and [mobile](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061734).

-   An internet connection – broadband wired, WiFi (a/g/n/ac), or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE)
-   Speakers and a microphone – built-in, USB plug-in, or wireless Bluetooth
-   A webcam or HD webcam - built-in, USB plug-in, or:
    -   An HD cam or HD camcorder with a video-capture card. **Note:** Video SDK supports the same [list of supported devices as Zoom Workplace](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0064819).
    -   Virtual camera software for use with broadcasting software like OBS or IP cameras

    -   Tablet PCs only support the desktop app.

## Processor, RAM, and CPU bit requirements

See the following for details.

### Desktop

| Component | Minimum                  | Recommended                |
| --------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------- |
| Processor | Dual-core 2GHz or higher | Quad-core 2.5GHz or higher |
| RAM       | 4 GB                     | 16 GB                      |
| CPU bit   | 32/64                    | 64                         |

### Mobile

-   Any 1 GHz single core processor or better (non-Intel)
-   ARM processor (Android devices)

### Notes

-   Dual and single-core laptops have a reduced frame rate when screen sharing (around 5 frames per second). For optimum screen-sharing performance on laptops, we recommend a quad-core processor or higher.
-   Linux requires a processor or graphics card that can support [OpenGL 2.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL#OpenGL_2.0) or higher.
-   We recommend installing the same Zoom desktop app bit version based on your computer's CPU bit spec. For example, if your computer spec is 64-bit, we recommend using the 64-bit version of the Zoom desktop app.
-   **As of December 31, 2025, Zoom is [ending support for Windows 32-bit](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0079569)**. Zoom will also end support for 32-bit Chrome browsers to align with this broader phase-out of 32-bit support across Windows and web platforms. Developers can expect console warnings in SDK implementations and user prompts in Zoom Web Client to encourage upgrades to 64-bit environments. We will continue to update as we approach end of support.

## High-DPI support

-   Zoom desktop app for Windows, macOS, or Linux: [Global minimum version](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061130) or higher.

## Bandwidth requirements

The bandwidth used by Zoom will be optimized for the best experience based on the user's network. It will automatically adjust for 3/4/5G, WiFi, or wired networks.
