摘要： A processor implemented method conserves bandwidth capacity by reducing the amount of bandwidth that is used in a communication channel between a content transmitting server and a content receiving client computer while streaming multimedia content. A content receiving client computer receives a multimedia streaming content from a content transmitting server. The multimedia streaming content has a video component and an audio component. In response to determining that a user of the content receiving client computer is no longer watching the video component of the multimedia streaming content, a processor generates and transmits an inattention alert to the content transmitting server. The inattention alert directs the content transmitting server to stream only the audio component of a remaining portion of the multimedia streaming content to the content receiving client computer.
