Preparing your Computer

<aside> ❗ NOWHERE takes a lot of processing power to run, reduce the strain on your computer to ensure the best performance possible.

</aside>

1 :: Use the best computer available to you

Recommend a computer within the last 5 years

2 :: Make sure your computer is up to date

You'll want to make sure you're running the latest version of your OS, and you don't want any downloads to start while you are performing.

3 :: Unplug any unnecessary devices

These could be charging cords, hard drives you aren't using, etc. You don't want anything drawing additional power to your computer.

4 :: Keep your computer cool

Use an external cooling system or a fan if you have one. If not, make sure your computer is on a hard surface so your computer's internal cooling fan can do it's thing.

5 :: Restart your computer before going NOWHERE

This makes sure you have as little running in the background as possible. Be sure to close any unnecessary tabs and applications.

6 :: Reduce Screen brightness

Again, we are trying to limit the amount of extra power being drawn to your computer.

7 :: Use Chrome

NOWHERE performs best on Chrome. If you cannot use Chrome, Firefox is also acceptable.

8 :: Reduce the size of your window

The larger the window, the harder your graphics card has to work. Physically reducing the size of the window can considerably improve your computers performance. If you are screen-sharing within a space, reduce the size of that window as well. See below:
