+#### maxResolution
+Sets the desired limit to resolution, to limit network bandwidth consumption when multiple video streams are available for a playlist. Only supported on iOS 11 and higher.
+
+If not set, will not limit the maxResolution.
+
+Property | Type | Description
+--- | --- | ---
+width | number | If 0, allow any width. Otherwise only allow resolutions <= width
+height | number | If 0, allow any height. Otherwise only allow resolutions <= height
+Both width & height must be set to a non-zero value for the resolution limit to be applied.
+
+Example:
+```
+maxResolution={ width: 360, height: 180 }
+```
+
+Platforms: iOS
+
 #### minLoadRetryCount
 Sets the minimum number of times to retry loading data before failing and reporting an error to the application. Useful to recover from transient internet failures.
