http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-and-increased-bandwidth-usage/td-p/3057790 suggests you can't limit the quality of the video used; the best the bandwidth can cope with is chosen. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need has a table of upload speeds needed and something about testing it.
