Re: [rtcweb] Resolution negotiation - mandatory / advisory resolutions

["Roni Even" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Harald,
Look at example 4.2.1. The sender of the media will reject the recv value in
the offer and may offer other send options. Typically they should be larger
than the rejected value in order to allow cropping and/or scaling down to
the right size. (Cropping may provide better quality than scaling up).
