Maximum Video Bandwidth Consumption
The bandwidth required to send the video is higher than the required bandwidth for receiving the video. SVC
technology used in the client software uses the multilayer frames to send video and allows the client to
automatically select the best possible resolution to receive the video. Table 9 gives results for the tests measuring
video bandwidth consumption.

The site administrator can set the video quality for the entire site and at the host account level, and the host can set
those parameters when scheduling the meeting. Attendees have no control over the video quality; it is controlled
automatically during the meeting based on various factors. The host can schedule the meeting with a maximum
video resolution up to 720p (WebEx Meeting Center and Training center), 360p, or 180p. Thumbnail video is
always set at 90p, and it cannot be changed.
Each resolution can support variable frame rates: HD (720p) at 24-30 fps; HQ (360p) at 24-30 fps; SQ (180p) at 12
fps; and thumbnail video at 6-10 fps.

Note that the client can display one main window with an active speaker, meaning that at any time when people
are speaking, their videos appear in the main, enlarged window. In addition to the main active speaker window, a
client can view up to six additional scrollable thumbnail views in the participant list, and up to five additional
scrollable thumbnail windows in full-screen mode. There are no thumbnail images in the expanded full-screen
video in HD mode (Meeting Center only).
