1. Set maximum video quality resolution per site
2. Specify whether the host has the ability to schedule
high-definition or high-quality video meetings.
WebEx hosts can choose to set the maximum video quality when
scheduling a meeting. They can schedule high-definition or
high-quality video meetings if given access by their WebEx site
administrator. You can also take advantage of automatic network
congestion control during both the uplink and downlink process
while using video. Count on congestion control to estimate
real-time available bandwidth according to bit stream rate
feedback messages from the Cisco Collaboration Cloud. In
addition, system monitoring tracks system performance to pick
the best video experience for the system’s capabilities.

Q: My IT department is concerned about the impact of WebEx video
services on network capacity and bandwidth. What can I tell them?
A: WebEx video is based upon H.264 SVC technology that allows
video quality adaptation based upon available bandwidth.
Please refer to Table 1 for details on recommended network
bandwidth and platform requirements. Congestion and
performance control is built into the system. Video quality is
automatically adjusted in the event of a lack of network or
computing resources.
