Techniques for prioritization of data streams include transmitting a plurality of data streams to a first device over a network where each data stream is configured to cause the first device to perform a specific function, dynamically detecting a bandwidth limitation limiting an amount of available bandwidth for transmitting the plurality of data streams, dynamically determining bandwidth reduction criteria by identifying a first subset of the plurality of data streams to stop transmitting based on the specific function that each respective data stream causes the first device to perform, temporarily stopping transmitting of the first subset of data streams configured to cause the first device to perform a first set of functions, and continuing to transmit a second subset of data streams not included in the first subset of the data streams to the first device to cause the first device to continue to perform a second set of functions.
