Speed Test
Measures the real sustained download and upload throughput in Mbps at this desk, then tells you in plain language which Teams and Zoom video modes will hold up. It moves throwaway generated bytes to and from a single DeskTest.net server and times them - this is a per-desk estimate, not a multi-server speedtest replacement.
Read the Speed Test guide for how the numbers are measured and how to read the video verdict.
edge.desktest.net (DeskTest.net's own server) to measure throughput. Those bytes are generated on the fly and discarded at the edge - they are never your files, and nothing is stored or logged as content. It is a single point-of-presence estimate, not a multi-server speedtest. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. View source to verify.Configuration
Takes about 20-30 seconds and moves up to a few hundred MB of throwaway data. On a metered or cellular connection, mind your data cap. Total bytes and total time are capped so the test cannot run away.
Speed test complete
Download throughput
Streams throwaway bytes from the desktest edge over a sustained window and tallies Mbps.
Upload throughput
POSTs a generated buffer to the desktest edge and times how fast it drains.
Video call readiness
Maps your measured down and up speeds to the Teams and Zoom modes that will hold up.
