Webex App| Video specifications for calls and meetings
When you call someone or have a meeting using Webex App, the video resolution adjusts as the network bandwidth changes. The environment affects the resolution, but you get the best quality possible from the current network conditions.
You can refer to these specifications to get information about the supported codecs, video definition, and bandwidth usage in Webex App.
Supported codecs
We optimize the quality by using the Opus codec for audio and the OpenH264 codec for video.
