Requirements

Hardware

  1. Laptop/Desktop - macOS, windows OS, linux OS eg Ubuntu etc. Preferably Windows OS for now.

  2. A second Screen - a monitor, TV, another laptop etc

    • If the second screen is a monitor, it should have a HDMI compatibility. Old ones have VGA input thus you will need to get a HDMI to VGA adapter/converter. If your laptop has USB-C port only then you will need a USB-C to HDMI adapter depending on what your second screen has.

    • For the TV screen, it must be HDMI compatibility. If not, we do not need it.

    • If Laptop, it must satisfy the requirements in 1. above

    • Have a HDMI cable to connect to the second screen from your laptop, if the second screen is any of the first 2 above. -Note that casting is prone to lags hence not recommended.

    • if using old computers, you do not need the HDMI but rather the VGA is sufficient.

  3. A webcam, if not using a laptop with webcam compatibility.

  4. WiFi.
