Participant Settings
When defining a new participant or modifying an existing participant, select SIP as the 
participant’s networking environment Type in the 
New Participant 
or
 Participant Properties -
General tab.
The participants Video Protocol in the 
New Participant 
or
 Participant Properties - 
Advanced tab 
should be left at (or set to) its default value: Auto. 
The Auto setting allows the video protocol to be negotiated according to the endpoint’s 
capabilities:
• OCS endpoints and Lync Server clients connect to the conference using the RTV 
protocol.
• Other endpoints negotiate the video protocol in the following sequence: H.264, 
followed by RTV, followed by H.263 and finally H.261.
Protocol Forcing
Selecting H.264, RTV, H.263 or H.261 as the Video Protocol results in endpoints that do not 
support the selected Video Protocol connecting as Secondary (audio only).
