Microsoft Stream uses adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) technology. It will choose the best bitrate based on your connected bandwidth.

If you play back a video in Stream, you will notice the "signal bars" in the controls area. If you hover over that, you can see the current available bandwidth's. By default we automatically detect your bandwidth based on latency and determine the right video track to display on playback. You can also manually set it to any of the available tracks.
