QoS Orbi RBR 50

The moment someone goes on youtube on their phone wirelessly, the bandwidth seems to split unevenly to them even though, I really need the speed for business meetings. Is there a way to give my Wired connection to Orbi the priority.
Not that has ever been mentioned. Orbi has some sort of "Dynamic Qos" capability that I can find no explanation for. And, Orbi's QoS is based on applications, not devices. So, my conclusion is "no".
Is there a way to access this Dynamic QoS? It seems like this has been a problem for many many years.
It's automatic so no access thru UI.
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:

When Orbi was first released, I believe there was a method to tinker with the QoS settings (although my memory of four years ago is hazy).
There are still "QOS" web pages in the firmware, but they appear to be inactive.
I think the only obvious solution is to buy more bandwidth.
