Last time I hooked up my 5d3 to Teams I saw a nice capture but the other participants saw something that appeared like a 5kib/s 320p feed. When I switched back to the internal webcam the picture was 720p so it wasn’t my connection. Any ideas on this? (macOS, ODS, cam twist, and 5d3 over usb.)

It might have been too high quality, and teams squished it to save bandwidth for every participant?

So why not squish it down to the same level as the internal webcam instead of completely down?
