Abstract
A method includes capturing video frames of a video item to be transmitted as a livestream and delivering the video frames to a queue for an encoder of a user device. The method further includes determining that a subset of the video frames have been discarded. The discarding indicates that the subset of the video frames did not enter the encoder. The method further includes determining a frequency of discarded video frames. Responsive to the frequency exceeding a threshold frequency, the method includes reducing quality of the video item transmitted as the livestream based on the frequency by reducing one or more of frame rate of the user device, resolution of the user device, or encoder bitrate of the encoder.
