Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons | |
| H264 | Lower CPU Usage | Lower Video Quality |
| Longer Battery Life | ||
| 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.
