How to reduce VRAM in ASUS UM431DA/UX431DA

This is a UM431DA/UX431DA, BIOS 306 (It came with 300, I just upgraded, I still can't find anything relevant), Ryzen 3500U RAM: 8GB . I see that the GPU is taking 2GB of RAM away. I am not a gamer and my GPU needs are tiny. I would rather prefer to configure the BIOS to reduce that reservation and preserve RAM for my actual needs (CPU).
Other laptops allow changing the GPU reservation via the BIOS, sometimes thru hidden advanced menus. I don't see anything video related in this BIOS (version 3.01, released in Dec 2019), even in "advanced" menu, and I don't know if there are hidden menus accessible via a magical key combination.
HELP!

Unfortunately, this feature uses AMD recommended settings and cannot be adjusted.
Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.

As far as I know, the relevant settings of the laptop cannot be set up manually. Regarding the video you mentioned, whether the power user used other methods to operate, I am afraid we cannot evaluate with you the operation of this part.
