For the best experience using Whizzimo, both educators and students should use a computer that meets the following hardware and software recommendations.

  • Use Google Chrome as your browser. We do not recommend using Safari, Edge, Firefox, or other web browsers. Keep Google Chrome updated whenever an update is available.

  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10+ or macOS 13+

  • RAM: Minimum 4GB

  • Processor: Minimum Intel i5, Apple M1, AMD Ryzen 5, or equivalent

  • Internet Speed: Minimum 8 Mbps upload/download

  • Drive Type: Solid State Drive (SSD). Do not use a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), as it may impact performance.

Most modern computers purchased in the last few years that meet these requirements will run Whizzimo smoothly.

ℹ️ Internally, we have found that the most recent releases of the HP Spectre x360 line and the Apple MacBook or MacBook Air lines run Whizzimo well, especially when doing remote tutoring.
