If you are finding that the quality of video streaming inside Class for Teams is lagging or you are experiencing issues related too much bandwidth being used, you can adjust the settings of your video streaming inside Class. Do note that by adjusting your settings, Class will make it so that you reduce bandwidth by limiting the number of available cameras you can displayed or disable your use of virtual backgrounds. For details on each setting, please consult the table under the section titled System Performance Levels.

From inside Class, click the Settings icon.

Next, click on the Performance tab.

Lastly, select the level of performance that you want to adjust to. Class will automatically apply the level of performance that you set.

Settings can only be adjusted manually
