Details

&videobitrate sets the target video bitrate of a video feed in a solo link or the video feeds in a scene.

This parameter is only for scenes and solo links. Use &totalroombitrate for example to set up the video bitrate for guests in a room.

If the sender uses &outboundvideobitrate, that sets the default target bitrate on the push side. A viewer-set &videobitrate overrides that default. A sender-side &maxvideobitrate still caps the maximum bitrate, regardless of what the viewer requests.

In some cases, &videobitrate is enforced via SDP munging, so it can also act as a maximum cap depending on browser/negotiation.

Default value will target around 2500-kbps.

The maximum achievable bitrate is around 60,000-kbps (60-mbps).

Lowering the bitrate can sometimes reduce CPU load, bandwidth, and stuttering issues

You might want to increase the bitrate for game streams, to ensure smooth frame rates.
