The **mimoCall Performance Monitor** provides detailed real-time statistics for each [active mimoCall connection](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/sources-input/remote-sources/mimocall/), helping you evaluate connection quality and diagnose network or performance issues during a live session.

### Opening the Performance Monitor

You can open the Performance Monitor **once a mimoCall connection is established** with a guest.
To access it select the **mimoCall Source** in the **Sources** list. and click the **action icon**. A separate panel will appear showing detailed **incoming** and **outgoing** data for both audio and video streams.

### Overview

The Performance Monitor is divided into several sections:

#### Settings

- You can set the **Video Codec** manually or leave it on **Auto** to let mimoLive select the optimal codec based on connection and device capabilities.
- **Enable Stereo & Reserve Bandwidth for High Quality Audio**: Improves sound fidelity by using more bandwidth. Note: Changing this may temporarily disconnect the mimoCall partner.
- **Partner Sees**: Determines which video source, including the Program Output, the guest receives, defaults to `Program Output`.
- **Partner Hears**: Defines the mix the remote guest hears. Commonly set to `Program Mix (Mix-Minus)`.
- **Reconnect to Partner**: Forces mimoLive to re-establish the mimoCall connection with the guest.
Use this if the video or audio stream freezes or becomes unstable.

#### Incoming

- **Video** **Resolution**: Shows the received video frame size, e.g. `1280 × 720`.
- **Frame Rate (fps)**: The actual number of frames per second being received (e.g. `14.0 fps`).
- **Codec**: The video codec used (e.g. `H.264`).
- **Bitrate**: Displays the current and average bitrate, e.g. `2.5 Mbit/s (avg. 1.82 Mbit/s)`.
- **Data Transfer Graph**: Shows real-time bandwidth usage for the last 60 seconds.

- **Codec**: Usually `opus`, optimized for speech and variable network conditions.
- **Bitrate**: Shows the current and average bitrate (e.g. `43.67 Kbit/s (avg. 37.89 Kbit/s)`).
- **Graph**: Displays bitrate changes over time.

- **Connection Type**: Typically displays `local, udp` or `relay, tcp`, depending on the network conditions and connection path.
- **Local IP**: The IP address and port used for the call, helpful for diagnosing network routing.

#### Outgoing

All the statistic values for the incoming side also applies to the outgoing data.
