Hi, I have a transport that has more than 100 producer (audio-video). Does the maxIncomingBitrate applies to all these producers? And if maxIncomingBitrate is less than the actual income bitrate how does it affect the producers?

Please search in this forum for “maxIncomingBitrate” and “setMaxIncomingBitrate”. It’s been explained recently.

Sorry but I couldn’t find an answer to my question. My question is if Every producer in this transport has a maxbitrate of 50000 and I have 100 producer do I have to setMaxIncomingBitrate to 5000000? Or I can put it lower than that. And if it was lower than that what happens if the max was exceeded.

Explained here, you are just asking the same twice: [Give different bit rates to different produces](https://mediasoup.discourse.group/t/give-different-bit-rates-to-different-produces/1755)

This is for one producer, what I meant is the maxbitrate for the whole transport

You should use the per encoding maxBitrate in mediasoup-client rather that setMaxIncomingBitrate in server side (which limits the total bitrate of all Producers).
