Options

Example: &maxvideobitrate=8000

Value	Description
(positive integer value)	max allowed video bitrate per stream out

Details

Useful if you are a director and you wish to prevent guests from pulling more than 500-kbps (LQ) or 1200-kbps (HQ) when in broadcast mode.

This is NOT the same as setting the target bitrate as a publisher; this just sets a max limit that viewers can pull video streams at. Please see &totalroombitrate or &limittotalbitrate, as well.

Set to 600-kbps, 200-kbps, or 80-kbps if the goal is to reduce CPU load also. (2x, 3x, or 4x down-scaling is applied at those bitrate limits).
