Bluescape recommends that your hardware meet the minimum requirements outlined below. Be aware that there are factors beyond CPU, RAM, and Bandwith that can impact the performance of your workspace. These factors include but are not limited to:

- Contents of your workspace (video and image assets require more system resources than documents, shapes, and notecards)
- Other Applications using CPU and RAM resources
- Other Browser tabs using CPU and RAM resources (for Web Application only)
- In low bandwidth situations, Workspaces may take longer to load, and powerful features like video synchronization may degrade

### Web Application

| | Minimum | Recommended |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CPU | 2.4 GHz (2 cores/4 threads) | 2.8 GHz (4 cores/8 threads) |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Network bandwidth | 5 Mbps | 30 Mbps |

### Desktop Application

Operating System support for the Desktop application includes Windows 10 and later, and MacOS 11 Big Sur and later.
