Description
I have developed a website using the Zoom Video SDK. If I create a session with 1,000 participants, and all of them have their cameras enabled, who manages the load of streaming their video? Does Zoom handle the bandwidth and processing for participant video streams?

Which Web Video SDK version?
Zoom Video SDK 2.1.5

To Reproduce(If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create single session using zoom video sdk
  2. Join that session with 1000 users
  3. Who will take care of the video streaming load ?

Device (please complete the following information):

  • Device: All devices
  • OS: All OS
  • Browser: All Browser
  • Browser Version All Version

Hi @sudhakar Video processing, distribution and load are handled in Zooms Cloud by the Multi-Media Router. Send and receive resolution is determined between the Client device and MMR, where the MMR makes the decision based off several factors (network connection strength, client device type, client platform, MMR to web gateway connection strength, etc). The send and receive resolutions are specific to each user, so user 1 could be sending 1080p video to the MMR and the MMR sends that 1080p video to user 2 but decreases that resolution to 720p for user 3.
