Frequently Asked Questions

What internet speed do I need?

Your broadband connection should have a minimum download speed of 10 Mbps and a minimum upload speed of 4 Mbps. A wired connection is generally more consistent and stable, and faster speeds may improve image quality and system responsiveness.

Which browsers are supported?

Prevail supports Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox on desktop and laptop computers, and performs best using Google Chrome. Safari is not supported on desktop but is supported on iOS devices, including iPad.

What should I do if my firewall or VPN blocks Prevail?

You may need to configure your network firewall or log out of your VPN. For assistance, contact your company or firm's IT department, or Prevail Customer Success at CustomerSuccess@prevail.ai. If you connect outside your VPN, you may lose access to company email or files, so consider uploading your documents to your Prevail Briefcase before your Session.

How can I test my setup before a Session?

You can schedule a Prevail Test Session to confirm that your network, hardware, and browser work well with Prevail. You can also connect to a scheduled Session up to 30 minutes before its start time and use the Check Your Audio and Video link on the Join Page or in the Waiting Room.

Why is my browser asking for camera and microphone access?

Prevail needs access to your camera and microphone to function properly. When your browser prompts you to allow prevail.ai to use them, click Allow.

Can I join from a phone or tablet?

Yes, both Prevail Members and Guests can join on a mobile device, though a desktop or laptop is recommended and mobile support is limited. Zoom-integrated Sessions must be joined through the Zoom mobile app, and you cannot attend a Session while on a phone call.
