How can I stop receiving video of meeting ?

[善博 河端]

I want to stop receiving video of meeting for save network traffic on my phone.

My scenario:

The some members of the Meeting send video and audio.

and some members join by their phone.

and members by phone, send and receive audio with out video.

I find how to send audio without video on meeting on phone.

But I cannot find how to receive audio without video.

So, How can I stop receiving video of meeting ?

You can't.

This really shouldnt be something you need, Teams understands the bandwidth available and scales video quality to best suit what's available.

Hi, thank you for your quick reply.

I will try more scenarios for network bandwidth.
Now, I use a SIM card for my Phone,
which NO additional cost under 250 Kbps., and I can use the SIM card under $ 10 / month.

Currently, Some products of Microsoft can limit Network bandwidth,
like OneDrive can limit upload / download network bandwidth.

and Some companies want to limit Network bandwidth of each PC,
for save their network quality.

and I can saving battery of Phone and PC at stop receiving video rather than receiving video of meeting.
Like I can use My Surface Pro under 2 hours at battery mode when receiving video.
which can NOT Maximum battery saving mode in Power mode.

So, I will try some scenarios of network bandwidth to Microsoft Teams.

meanwhile, in the real world, whilst bandwidth may not be an issue, data allowance could well be.  I use a mobile phone as a backup connection, nice fast 4g signal.  if people insist on sending me their video, my data allowance gets eaten up very quickly.   I should be able to opt to not receive that video.
