Fix the sessionId that will be assigned to the session with this parameter.

Define which video codec will be forcibly used for this session. This forces all browsers/clients to use the same codec, which would avoid transcoding in the media server (Kurento only). If forcedVideoCodec is set to NONE, no codec will be forced.

If the browser/client is not compatible with the specified codec, and allowTranscoding is false, an exception will occur.

If defined here, this parameter has prevalence over OPENVIDU_STREAMS_FORCED_VIDEO_CODEC.

Default is MEDIA_SERVER_PREFERRED.
