# Supported Browsers & Devices

As a browser-based platform, we're able to support any operating system that's capable of running one of our supported browsers.

Whether it's macOS, Linux, or Windows, we've got you covered as long as you can run an up-to-date and supported browser!

{% hint style="warning" %}
Due to a bug in Safari for macOS, we've temporarily disabled our [Picture in Picture](/whereby-product-features/screen-sharing.md#picture-in-picture) feature for versions 17.x
{% endhint %}

## Desktop Browsers

All of the below browsers have full support for WebRTC. For the best experience, we recommend Chrome or Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave or Arc.

With consistently updating browsers and web API's, **we're committed to supporting the two latest versions of each of the support browsers listed below.**

{% hint style="success" %}
Older versions of the below browsers will generally work as they support the basics of [WebRTC](https://caniuse.com/rtcpeerconnection). However, users may have a degraded experience due to newer browser level APIs and bug fixes.

If your users are experiencing problems, instruct them to update their browser as a first step. We recommend testing on older devices when possible, if you expect your user base to use predominately out of date software.
