The System Metrics Panel allows you to view how your computer is handling Virbela. If you're having performance issues, this tool may allow you to see what could be causing the problem

Voice Metrics Tool

Signal Bar

This is a visual indicator for the current voice connectivity. This is represented by a colored signal bar icon as well as a percentage. Clicking on the signal bars will bring up the System Metric Panel.

Colored Mic Icon

The mic icon also is representative of the voice connection. In the example above, the mic is a Green icon which indicates that the connection is good. Orange would be poor, and Red would mean the connection is bad.

Voice Connection Section
