Roaming bandwidth control

Originally posted by Microsoft May 28, 2021 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

This allows admins to set more limited bandwidth controls for when users travel to remote or bandwidth constrained locations, and then relax limitations when they travel to a location with higher bandwidth capacity. Initially two settings from the Teams Meeting Policy will be included – AllowIPVideo, andMediaBitRateKb
