[Freeswitch-users] Video Upgrade/Downgrade and Transcoding

[Joel Serrano]

Hi Carsten,

I have a setup exactly like that... I’ll get you the combination of
settings I have for FS to handle the codecs.

As for your second problem, I can tell you it will not work, I have a quote
from FS devs to implement the reinvite with video but as of right now you
cannot switch from audio to audio+video (unless you proxy_media which of
course you don’t want).

Joel.
