# BatchUpdateAttendeeCapabilitiesExcept


Updates `AttendeeCapabilities` except the capabilities listed in an `ExcludedAttendeeIds` table.

**Note**  
You use the capabilities with a set of values that control what the capabilities can do, such as `SendReceive` data. For more information about those values, see [AttendeeCapabilities](API_meeting-chime_AttendeeCapabilities.md).

When using capabilities, be aware of these corner cases:
+ If you specify `MeetingFeatures:Video:MaxResolution:None` when you create a meeting, all API requests that include `SendReceive`, `Send`, or `Receive` for `AttendeeCapabilities:Video` will be rejected with `ValidationError 400`.
+ If you specify `MeetingFeatures:Content:MaxResolution:None` when you create a meeting, all API requests that include `SendReceive`, `Send`, or `Receive` for `AttendeeCapabilities:Content` will be rejected with `ValidationError 400`.
+ You can't set `content` capabilities to `SendReceive` or `Receive` unless you also set `video` capabilities to `SendReceive` or `Receive`. If you don't set the `video` capability to receive, the response will contain an HTTP 400 Bad Request status code. However, you can set your `video` capability to receive and you set your `content` capability to not receive.
+ If meeting features is defined as `Video:MaxResolution:None` but `Content:MaxResolution` is defined as something other than `None` and attendee capabilities are not defined in the API request, then the default attendee video capability is set to `Receive` and attendee content capability is set to `SendReceive`. This is because content `SendReceive` requires video to be at least `Receive`.
+ When you change an `audio` capability from `None` or `Receive` to `Send` or `SendReceive` , and if the attendee left their microphone unmuted, audio will flow from the attendee to the other meeting participants.
+ When you change a `video` or `content` capability from `None` or `Receive` to `Send` or `SendReceive` , and if the attendee turned on their video or content streams, remote attendees can receive those streams, but only after media renegotiation between the client and the Amazon Chime back-end server.
