Preferences – Video Codecs
V i deo codecs describe the forma t by which video streams are compre ssed for transmission over networks. Some
codecs require less bandwidth than others, but may result in lower video quality.
You can enable or disable co de cs as desired. You may decide to disable a code c even t hough your VoIP 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.
