"The link that has lower bandwidth will
be detected as such and the browser will reduce the send rate
accordingly; if it makes sense to do so, the resolution will be
reduced to avoid quality degrading too significantly."

[BA] This might be possible if there was a way to constrain the aspect ratio of the sent video, 
but if resolution is "reduced" in a way that changes the aspect ratio, then the user experience
will be less than optimal.
