Bandwidth Control
This option allows of imposing limitation on the acceptable values of the network channel resources utilization. The actual bandwidth of the channel, over which the transmission of the signal is conducted depends on the network capabilities and other parameters and can be lower than the claimed maximal values. In the centre of the section there are the previously set channel resources limitations. They are meant to let the video application to transmit incoming and outgoing connection speed respectively.
To change these values choose one of the following alternatives:
Set the limitation by choosing one of the presets from the drop-down list.

Note: Lower values result in a worse signal quality. To get the highest quality videoconferences you need to have the bandwidth no less than 128 Kb/s in both directions.
