Options – Video Codecs
This pane appears only on versions of Bria that include video functionality.
Video codecs describe the format by which video streams are compressed for transmission over networks.
Some codecs require less bandwidth than others, but may result in lower video quality.
You can enable or disable codecs as desired. You may decide to disable a codec even though your service
provider supports it.
With only one codec enabled, all calls made will use that particular compression format. With more than one
codec enabled, Bria automatically chooses the best codec based on the other party’s capability, the available
bandwidth, and network conditions.
You cannot change the properties of any codecs.
