Abstract

Participant systems in an audiovisual (AV) conferencing can, in one embodiment, use methods to ensure that all participants have a common platform to support AV conferencing, such as a common codec, and also attempt to provide higher quality AV conferencing (e.g., better than the common codec) based on available bandwidth and other criteria. The participant systems can use the common codec as a fallback platform when bandwidth or other criteria dictate a reduction in the quality of the AV conferencing. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
