Hello friends. 

Depending on the quality of the Internet connection, guests may experience problems with sound and video at the video conference. 
At the moment, I have not found a function for guests to disconnect video from the host’s webcam. 

Disabling is necessary when the conference guest has a very poor Internet connection, and disabling the video stream from the camera will help to improve the sound quality at the conference. 
Are you planning to add such functionality?

There is a data savings option for both cameras and screensharing.
The options are in the Settings menu (three dots, top-right corner) -> Data savings.
Be aware that these data savings options disable all webcam/screenshare streams for those who
disable it.

If you wanna a more fine grained control (ie make so that the viewers only see
moderators' webcams), you can look at the Lock viewers "See other viewers webcams" or
"Share webcams" options.

Thank you for the information. 

I know about the specified settings. 
The information in my message refers to the quick and convenient disabling of the webcam video from the guest himself in one click.

Hi Anatoliy, 

We've also got an exiting issue to track this enhancement to close individual webcams



Regards,... Fred
