Use Optimized versions for Watch Together

Hello, I love Watch Together! It is one of my favorite features on Plex. For dvd quality (480p) movies I can watch with 4+ friends. There are only two problems I’ve run into. For 720p quality and higher it is near unbearable with just one friend. It may be because its at 12mpbs bit rate and I only have 5mbps upload (100 download). Not sure if that’s the problem though, since I could watch many streams of 480p at the same time. Of course, I can optimize the videos I want to watch, but then how do I actually play that optimized version? Is there an integrated way, or will I have to create a rename the file from Movie.mkv to Movie (720p version).mkv so they populate as a different movie?

Thanks all
