Hi @SamJ

The actual bandwidth consumption depends on many factors, such as video layout, video resolution, and video frames per second. When more bandwidth is available, quality and usage will

increase to deliver the best experience. When bandwidth is insufficient, Teams prioritizes audio quality over video quality.

Calculation of bandwidth, you could check out the Network Planner tool, in the Teams admin center. For more details about Bandwidth requirements, you could refer to:

Hi @SokiGuo-MSFT

Sorry for the delay. I just want to know when 5 users are connected from the office for a Teams video conference call, if we go with 1.5 mpbs as per MS recommendation, so the total bandwidth required 5 x 1.5 mbps = 7.5 mbps ?

we have 1,000 users on a site where the concurrency call rate is 9% for video, how do we define the bandwidth?
FYI: The network planner shows very low bandwidth when we put 1,000 users, not sure on what basis they have defined in the report.

Thank you,

Regards,

Hi
When used by 5 users, the bandwidth is still 1.5Mbps.
Network planner details: For help assessing your network, including bandwidth calculations and network requirements across your org's physical locations, check out the Network Planner tool, in the Teams admin center. When you provide your network details and Teams usage, the Network Planner calculates your network requirements for deploying Teams and cloud voice across your organization's physical locations.

Hi!

I found the following post:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/teams-bandwidth-requirements-for-event/m-p/2754383

1,5MB seem to be suitable for 1-1 meetings whereas 4MB would be suggested when in larger scaled meetings.
I am not sure if such a calculator exists. The closest assessment would likely be this:
