QUESTION · SATURDAY Q&A

Do you have individual telemetry for participants joining, like frame rate and resolution they're sending?

THE PANEL'S ANSWER
John WallacePANELIST

A diagnostic panel pulls participant frame rate and resolution data; when sources drop, the app auto-retries to pull them back up to maximum allowed; AI tools can troubleshoot using this data.

Summarised by AI from what the panel said. Watch the moment for the full answer.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

5:22and then what your program, like my canvas size is set to 1080p60. and do you have individual telemetry for the participants that are joining like can you see their frame rate that they and the resolution that they've that they're sending you when they've joined yeah so um on the sources screen um there is um looks like it's not working right now so

5:46it's broken but you should be able to see the frame rate uh will auto retry to do the maximum that's allowed in the meeting. So someone drops down, it'll retry and try to pull them back up once it's available. But I will have a diagnostic panel, which is right now, it's mostly this. So it's able to pull and I can use this with AI

6:08to kind of troubleshoot it. And what if you've got someone that's joined the meeting, let's say that is their audio is fluctuating a lot. If you as the engineer want to remotely turn their audio up or down is there any way to do that on a on a per user basis i can't control their machine audio but you know i can go into the actual zoom mix here and i can turn it up
