Data usage when using iphone personal hotspot when abroad
I am going to need to use my iphone personal hotspot tethered to my laptop when abroad. This will be to take part in 2 x 6hr days of live Zoom training. I am trying to find out how much data this is likely to use i.e. whether it's viable to do or not? And if not, if someone has an alternative suggestion please? Thank you

In theory it's possible via the £2 per 24 hour roaming passport.
In terms of data Zoom uses approx. 1 to 2GB per hour: https://www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/zoom-data-usage
So assuming you can connect (there are known problems in Spain) and maintain a fast enough connection and have enough data on your plan then it should work.
Surely, there would be a WiFi connection to use?

Thank you that's really helpful. There is wifi in the property but it's shared between 100 properties and is extremely weak and patchy so I need something more reliable
