• Never – default
• Cellular
• Always

How this will affect your organization

With this feature enabled, we will deliver the best quality experience for the given meeting complexity (number of video participants, variety of bandwidth conditions, multiple modalities, etc.) limited to 500 kbps on average.

This is a user facing setting only but you might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
