1. An apparatus comprising: a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor that executes the instructions in order to determine, for plural received compressed video inputs received from one or more endpoints in a video conference, at least one motion vector included in each of the plural compressed video inputs, calculate, based on the determined motion vectors, a motion value corresponding to each of the plural compressed video inputs, the motion values representing a level of motion over several frames for each of the plural compressed video inputs, and allocate, based on the calculated motion values, a portion of a maximum aggregate bandwidth to the each of the compressed video inputs based on the corresponding motion value, wherein the aggregate bandwidth is constant and a distribution of the bandwidth among the compressed video inputs is variable as a function of the motion values.
