How do I see the bandwidth being used by each device on the network

apologies as I am super new to wire shark. I've got a minimal amount of IT background so will likely need pretty specific step by step help.

I am trying to see how much bandwidth is being used by every device on my network.

I purchased a SharkTap device to pull data. I have the hardware setup and I believe I captured data for a couple of minutes. However I have no idea how to see bandwidth used by each device. For example, I have a 1GB Comcast line. I'm guessing it probably only allows for around 800Mbs down when all is said and done. With 2 wireless TVs, 3 wireless smart phones, and a wired desktop, plus wireless laptop, I'd like to see the bandwidth being taken for each device over a 2 minute span. Like the laptop averaged 100 MBs and smart phone #1 was using 30MBs, etc, etc. Basically I want to find the bandwidth hog on my device.

I have no clue how to do this. Thank you SO much in advance for your help.
