Optimization of conference call encoding processes is provided. A first client of a multi-party conference call may receive client capability data, including video scalability support, from each of the other clients to the conference call. Based on the client capability data and the transmission capabilities of the first client, including video scalability support, the first client may determine a total number of data streams and properties for each data stream, such that the total number of data streams and the plurality of properties for each data stream are optimized and supported by the respective client capability data and the transmission capabilities. Subsequently, the first client generates one or more data streams according to the total number of data streams and the properties that were determined for each data stream and transmits the one or more data streams to the other clients of the conference call.
