Limiting the Network Bandwidth

To accommodate the needs of your network environment, you can reduce the network bandwidth used during a meeting.

This is useful when you want to prevent an increase in the load on the network line or reduce the amount of data transmitted.

The network bandwidth can be limited when using Connection Check and when holding a video meeting.
