Troubleshooting Zoom or Microsoft Teams frozen or hanging when connected to Deco
This Article applies to:
All Deco models
Zoom/ Skype/ Microsoft Teams, and other Video Conference Platforms
Typical Problem Description:
1. After connecting to the Deco Wi-Fi, Zoom says that the signal is low. The video stutters and stops for long periods of time (sometimes more than 3 secs).
2. During a Zoom meeting, the video stutters, pauses & audio gets delayed even the wireless connection is pretty strong and wireless speed is fast.
