Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of participants in a group video call, wherein each participant is associated with an uplink capacity and a downlink capacity, and the set of participants includes a set of sender participants and a set of subscriber participants. For a first sender participant of the set of sender participants, one or more video stream layers to be uploaded by the first sender participant are determined based on downlink capacities of one or more subscriber participants of the set of subscriber participants. Each subscriber participant of the one or more subscriber participants is assigned to receive one video stream layer of the one or more video stream layers to be uploaded by the first sender participant.
