Does zoom video sdk automatically fallback to audio only mode in case of low bandwidth? Or it is something that has to be present in application logic? ---

Hi @Preetam1 There isn’t an automatic fallback to disable video entirely, but you could build this feature as part of you application logic. You can use the network quality events from [Video SDK - web - Service quality](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/quality/#network-quality) and use that to unsubscribe to the video stream for the desired users. ---
