The ability to turn off or lower quality settings for watching streams

I think if you can stream to other people then the people who are watching should be able to either turn off the streams or lower the quality. For instance if you are in a group dm and someone is streaming their webcam but you have a data cap or you don't want to see what someone is streaming you could turn it off and go back to voice only and the same if you are in a voice channel inside a server. It also helps people who want to watch the stream but have poor internet or a data cap, they might not be able to do anything about their situation and they should be able to lower the quality so they can still interact with the person that they are watching.

  This 1000x. I have a slow unreliable connection that tends to spikes up and down in bandwidth. I would much rather force the stream to a lower quality than it trying to a higher one for the two seconds my bandwidth spikes, then freeze for a couple seconds while it switches to a lower than necessary quality to compensate for the bandwidth dip

  I would watch streams more in discord if this were possible. My bandwidth cap forces me to watch streams elsewhere

  Also when their own servers struggle to maintain a connection in one-on-one video calls, it would be great to be able to lower quality. Esp when I only ever have the video at like a 360p actual size

  I too have sh*tternet and sometimes Discord forcing the highest resolution streams makes stuff unwatchable. Please allow us to choose a different resolution similar to YT or Twitch when we are watching streams.
