Package Detection

The setting is ONLY available for SmartPlus master accounts.

1. Tap Me > Settings > Advanced Settings.

Check Video Communication Qualities

You can use Video Quality Diagnosis to check real-time video quality. It can be applied to video calls, live monitoring videos, and preview pages.

Go to Me > Settings > Advanced Settings, and turn on Video Quality Diagnosis, then you can see below information shown in the upper left corner of the screen:

  • fps: frames per second. If the value is low, it'll give a slow-motion or motion-blur effect to your video.

  • bps: bits per second. The higher the bps rate is, the faster the download or upload time will be.

  • packet loss rate: The lower the rate is, the better the network will be.

  • rtt: round-trip time. It’s the total time taken by a data packet as it travels from its source to the destination and back.
