Change your computer’s camera or video quality

On a computer, you can change the camera used for a meeting. You might also want to decrease the quality of your video if you experience:

• Video or audio delays
• Poor network connection
• Low battery
• Limited data available
• Other video or audio issues

To change the camera or the video resolution when using Meet on your computer:

1. In a web browser, open Meet.
2. Click Settings Video.
3. Select the setting you want to change: 
   • Camera—Your device
     (If your camera is working, to the right of Video, your video feed appears)
   • Send resolution—The image quality from your device that others see
   • Receive resolution—The image quality that you see from other participants
     Note: You can only change Send resolution and Receive resolution settings when you're in a video meeting.
4. Click Done.

Send resolution (maximum)

• High definition (720p)—Uses more data, but your camera will send a better quality picture
  (available on computers with a quad-core CPU or higher)
• Standard definition (360p)—Uses less data, but your camera will send a lower quality picture.

Receive resolution (maximum)

• High definition (720p)—Uses more data, but you see a higher quality picture
  (available on computers with a quad-core CPU or higher)
• Standard definition (360p)—Uses less data, but you see a lower quality picture.
• Standard definition (360p), one video at a time—To save more data, the other participants' thumbnails turn off.
• Audio only—To use the least amount of data, you see no video.
