Atleast 50 MBPS is recommended if you have 5 or more devices thus making use of 10MBPS each. And make sure you upgrade your Wi-Fi device for handling multiple devices at the same time if you have using multiple devices at the same time.
How To Get Zoom Video Quality Improvement

How to increase Video quality in Group Zoom Meetings
Are you tired of seeing low-quality video during Zoom meetings? The default video quality in Zoom is standard definition (SD), but there is a way to change it to high definition (HD).
To enable group HD mode, you need to go to your Zoom account settings and find the “Enable Group HD Video” option under “In Meeting (Advanced)”. This feature will improve the video quality for the active speaker in the video layout. Keep in mind that full HD or 1080p video is currently only available on Business and Enterprise plans.
If you’re using Zoom’s virtual background feature without a green screen, your video quality may be capped at 720p or even lower on some lower-end Windows computers. Also, when three or more participants join a group meeting, standard video will be activated and HD video (720p) will be activated for two participants.
In conclusion, enabling group HD mode in Zoom is easy and can greatly improve the video quality during your meetings. Keep in mind that this feature is only available for the active speaker video layout and that full HD video is currently only available on Business and Enterprise plans. Also, if you’re using virtual backgrounds, consider using a virtual webcam with OBS to avoid a reduction in video quality.
