Hi @marissah, you need to have a data plan on your mobile devices to start or join a video meeting. If the bandwidth is low, it will automatically scale to a smaller screen. To conserve data usage on mobile plan, you can turn off video. Or jump to "home" screen, iOS will put the app into "recording" mode which turns off video automatically, preserving audio. I found this info in the 'How much bandwidth do I need when using 3G, 4G/LTE, or 5G' Kb article! 😀
