Requirements

Technical Requirements​

MegaMinds is a browser-based platform and can be used on any device. For the best experience, use a laptop like a Chromebook. Though you can enter a virtual classroom and participate with a tablet or smartphones, they have reduced functionality. We are doing our best to optimize the platform so that it can be used on all devices, but some older devices may have trouble.

MegaMinds works best with the following ways:

  1. Use Google Chrome or Firefox
  2. Use headphones with a microphone to reduce noise and echo
  3. Plug in your charger if using a laptop or phone

Connection Requirements​

Most school WiFi networks will not experience difficulties connecting to MegaMinds. If you are unsure if your network can connect or not, try connecting to our tutorial room well in advance of a class to rule out any concerns.

If you are connected to a network that does not support the technical information defined below, please try the following alternatives:

  • Try connecting to an alternative and less restrictive network
  • Try connecting with a VPN connection
  • Talk to your IT department and refer to this document if needed.
  • Reach out to eric@gomegaminds..com so we can figure out alternatives.
