Please provide a way to voluntarily downgrade stream quality. I understand if people with poor vision require it, but I really don't need everything in hi def and definitely don't need 3D.
A serious issue I've had lately is Teams consuming 90%+ of my total Internet usage. The fact that it is consuming massively more bandwidth even than Netflix doesn't seem at all justified. My ISP is throttling me now and again and preventing me from being able to work at all. I understand it isn't the place of your company to fix the problem of crappy residential network infrastructure in the United States, but if you want broad adoption from people working from home in the United States, you really have no choice but to accommodate this.
Note that the only reason I'm using Teams is because I'm required to while working on government contracts because it's the only service right now certified to transmit controlled unclassified information.
- jsherwani 5y agoThis is a great point. We'll add support for this soon, thanks for the idea! We actually have a developer console command you can type to achieve this today if you really need something ASAP: - In the desktop app, click the hamburger menu, and then click the Pop logo 8x to launch Dev Tools - In the console, type setBandwidth(1000) to set the max and min bandwidth to 1000kbps. You can type resetBandwidth() to undo the change. If this doesn't work for you, please email us at hello@pop.com to let us know.
