Windows 10: How to throttle own bandwidth for reduce data consumption during Zoom

Hello everyone

I've heard that Zoom always tries to provide the best quality sound and video that a user's internet connection allows. This means that users with fast but expensive connections will pay a lot of money for every Zoom meeting, even if lower quality experiences would be perfectly acceptable. Do you know of a way (a simple method inside Windows, or a free/cheap program) that can be used to throttle down (i.e. reduce) the bandwidth (i.e. MB per minute) available to Zoom?

I know there are things one can do to reduce Zoom's data consumption, but Zoom will still try to provide the best possible experience regardless of the financial cost to the user. Wi-Fi isn't free or cheap everywhere.

Thanks
Samuel

PS. My own Windows version is 1903 18362.959, but my question relates to Windows 10 generally.

Reduce bandwidth usage in windows 10.

Hi everybody!

I installed windows 10 and I really like it BUT it uses bandwidth too much.

Maybe this doesn't have meaning for you, but in our country we must pay for each gigabyte of bandwidth we use.

Please help me and suggest me ways to reduce this usage!

Hi,

There are several causes of high data usage on your network. It depends on the applications or software used that requires network connection. For you to check the data consumption or data usage on your PC, follow the steps below:

• On Cortana search, type data usage overview.
• Select Data usage overview from the list.
• Under Overview, click on Usage details.
