Bandwidth: In reference to your internet connection, bandwidth is often used as a synonym for data transfer rate - the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period. This kind of bandwidth is usually expressed in kilo bytes (of data) per second (kBps). In the context of a video interview, the higher your bandwidth is the better your video will perform.

CPU (Central Processing Unit): The main component of a computer system, which contains the circuitry necessary to interpret and execute program instructions. In the context of a video interview, the CPU is required to process the resources necessary for your webcam, internet browser, and adobe flash player.

RAM (Random Access Memory): The place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's CPU. In the context of a video interview, your computer's RAM helps your CPU process items more efficiently.

Latency: In reference to your internet connection, latency, a synonym for delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. In the context of a video interview, a high latency will yield choppy or inconsistent video because there is a delay in your data communicating with the servers.

Firewall: A device or set of devices designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass. In the context of a video interview, a firewall may prevent or hinder you from successfully completing your interview.

UVC Compliant: In reference to your webcam, UVC stands for Universal Video Class, which means the webcam requires no drivers to function. This may also be referred to as Plug & Play. In the context of a video interview, this means the webcam is functional as soon as you plug it into your computer; there are no drivers or software to worry about.

Port 1935: This port is optimized for streaming video. It allows for the streaming of data, video and audio using an active Internet connection among a Flash Server and its associated player

VPN (Virtual Private Network): A network that uses primarily public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or traveling users access to a central organizational network.
