Prevail Sessions Requirements
To ensure your Prevail Session functions properly, check that your network connection, device, and browser meet the application’s requirements.
Internet Connection
Your broadband connection should have a minimum download speed of 10 Mbps and a minimum upload speed of 4 Mbps. A wired connection will generally be more consistent and stable, while faster upload and download speeds may improve image quality and system responsiveness. You can check your internet speed to confirm the quality of your connection.
Network Security & Firewalls
Firewalls and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) may block or limit access to Prevail Sessions or certain application tools and features. To ensure the best possible experience with your Prevail Session, you may need to configure your network firewall or log out of your VPN. If you need further assistance, please contact your company or firm’s IT department or Prevail Customer Success at CustomerSuccess@prevail.ai.
To check your connection, please visit Amazon Chime.

Recommended Setup for Best Results
Use the following audio, video, and lighting recommendations for the best Prevail experience.
Audio and Video Equipment
Prevail is compatible with most laptops with built-in microphones and cameras. A headset or dedicated microphone will help ensure your speech is audible and clear, especially with noisy backgrounds.
Before joining a Prevail Session, ensure your system meets the necessary requirements by using the Check Your Audio and Video feature. A system check is most beneficial for new users and members who have changed equipment or locations since their last Session.
- To schedule a Session to confirm that your network, hardware, and browser work well with Prevail, please visit the Prevail Test Session page.
- You can connect to a Session for testing up to 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Use the Check Your Audio and Video link on the Join Page or in the Waiting Room.
- When you connect, you may be prompted to your web browser to allow prevail.ai to use your camera and microphone. You must choose Allow for Prevail to function properly.
Proper Lighting
Adequate lighting and lighting placement are important for video quality. Most appear best on camera using front lighting. If possible, face toward a light source and avoid windows behind you. If you cannot avoid a window in your background, close any window curtains or blinds to reduce glare.
