Network and Hardware Recommendations

Setting up Slidecrew for your event requires ensuring the right network and hardware infrastructure. This page provides an overview of the hardware requirements to help you prepare.

For any queries, please contact suppport@slidecrew.com

Network Requirements

  • V-lan Network should be a subnet /24 (max 254 address).
  • Internet access and DHCP (v4) is mandatory for connecting to cloud storage and online portal.
    Not necessary for offline events except for initial setup.
  • We recommend using wired connections for all devices.
    • A dedicated wifi V-lan network is possible, but our recommendation is to use this only for situations that are not time-sensitive, or as a backup:
      • Room signage
      • Breakout rooms (with small presentation sizes and uploaded with plenty of time to sync)
