When starting a low-bandwidth call you'll be presented with the option to choose from two different video codecs for the call. Both have their own sets of pros and cons.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons | |
| H264 |
Lower CPU usage Longer battery life |
Lower video quality |
| VP8 | Higher video quality |
Higher CPU usage Shorter battery life |
Which should you choose?
VP8 will give you a higher quality of video during your call which is beneficial in a low-bandwidth scenario. If battery life and CPU usage are not a concern VP8 is your best option.
