Though our team works hard to continuously optimize performance, there are still ways you can impact this on your own.
We recommend Chrome as the primary browser paired with MURAL (followed by Firefox, Edge+Chromium, Safari). View our other basic technical requirements here.
Zoom works well paired with MURAL (as well as most other conference tools). However, sometimes users' bandwidth and internet strength prevent large canvases and many participant videos from running smoothly concurrently. Experiment with turning video off if performance only affects specific users.
Incorporate breakout groups (video conference + mural canvases) in your workshops to optimize load times and engagement. The "main canvas" could be a place where you warm up and get energized together, but each breakout group's multi-step activities would be in separate canvases. This also ensures each breakout group can use facilitator superpowers separately -- having their own unique voting sessions, follow me requests, timers, and celebrations. Just like in an in-person engagement, you don't want to overwhelm the team with too many participants in the "conference room".
If you'd like to upload external resources to your canvas like Excel spreadsheets and PDFs, it's best to link to content hosted on a file service provider. Larger files take longer to load by nature, so many files of this type on your canvas will slow it down. Upload these to DropBox or a similar service, then copy/paste those Share links into the canvas. This will significantly decrease the size of those files because they are indeed just links leading to other sources of information, rather than hosting and downloading an entire file. (Bonus: this also helps a lot with team version control! )
