Better Communication

microphone on microphone off Listen mode

50 kbps 20kbps 0kbps

As the participants consume more bandwidth, it lead to breakdown of system

If there is 100 participants,

- 1 people turn on mic , 99 people turn off mic -> this break down communication
- 1 people turn on mic, 2 people turn off mic 97 people Listen -> it is totally ok.
-
so if you do not speak, like observing Grand final, you should join with Listen mode
