That would seem to require significantly more upload bandwidth & compression capacity from clients, which is often not broadly available to consumers. I guess you could drop down to the lowest resolution only when sending to the service if you have a bandwidth challenge, but that seems less than ideal.
- pthatcherg 7y agoLots of video conferencing systems already work this way (the SFU way). Compared to just sending the full resolution all the time, adding the smaller resolutions doesn't add that much bandwidth and compression because they are so much smaller.
- cbsmith 7y agoBut a lot of video conferencing systems are designed for office environments, where you tend to have symmetric bandwidth.
- cbsmith 7y agoActually I'm calling BS on this. Zoom is literally adjusting frame rates at the single frame per second level. There is definitely upload pressure. SFU isn't going to be enough.
