Hi!

I've been trying to find information about the bar indicator that Zoom shows

right next to users name, but failed.

I'm showing the indicator I'm referring to in the attached JPG file.

I think it shows that user's connection quality, but would like to know for sure.

I have attended a couple of classes where teacher's audio was choppy and he

suggested we should turn of our cameras to improve it but thing is that bar

indicator was showing in red for him.

So... a couple of questions:

1) For future reference, what is the correct/proper name for that indicator?

2) If teacher's indicator is showing in red, am I correct to assume that turning

off my camera won't improve the audio quality?

Thanks in advance

Hi @JJCRR

1. I am not aware of an official name for that status indicator.

2. If someone is having a poor connection, turning off your video can help, as it reduces the amount of data they are receiving and provides more bandwidth for their outgoing data.
