A method includes reducing, at an encoder, an encoding bit rate of video data in response to a first indication of available bandwidth for transmission of the encoded video data. The method includes reducing an encoding frame size of the video data in response to the encoding bit rate falling below a first threshold. The method also includes increasing the encoding bit rate in response to a second indication of the available bandwidth. The method further includes increasing the encoding frame size in response to the encoding bit rate rising above a second threshold. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold.
