Allow Me to Set Video Quality

During meeting calls where my internet is running slow, I'd like to lower the video resolution / quality in order to help better stream audio. Right now, there's no ability to throttle video quality.

    My Macbook seems to overheat using video calls resulting in fan running full throttle.
    Setting lower camera quality I expect to mitigate this issue.

    I'm interested in this feature to be able to throttle CPU power as Teams gobbles up processor while giving more video quality than is required.

    THey use to have the option to lower the quality! I would lower it so I could watch past lectures recordings at faster speeds, then up the quality only when I had to see an image in detail. And now I have no other option then to watch them in normal speed with tons of lag cause my internet cant handle the high quality.

    Really need this option. Some of us still have a data cap amd this program eats it up at a horrie rate. Ridiculous.

    Also I would like to reduce the size of the image. I.e., I would like me headshot to be smaller so the virtual background looks better and I am sized correctly.

    I have a 4K Logitech Brio web cam and the image quality is great in facetime and the logitech apps to adjust settings. However, when I open in teams the image quality is terrible and no where near the HD let alone 4K. Please allow settings changes for at least HD video conferencing (like Zoom) or even better 4K so I can take full advantage of my camera. I have plenty of bandwidth to handle the stream quality.
