Can I disable video for P2P but enable it for conferencing?

I know this is an odd request but can anyone help me find any information that confirms if this is possible or not?

My thoughts are this isn't possible, as conferencing is considered a logical escalation process from a P2P video call.

Open if others have suggestions/alternatives though.

If you will diable it for all user it is not possible. If you will disable only some users you can use CAC with multipple sites.

It looks like the lync can not do it at present. But I think this feature can be developed with LYNC API. Please post you question to Lync MSDN forum, perhaps some developers can help you:

Actually there is an extended policy introduced with one of the previous cumulative update.

Having applied the latest CU on both server and the clients, IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf policy would enable the exact behaviour.

Before running the cmdlet below for a client policy, please confirm that that AllowIPVideo is set to True and EnableP2PVideo is set to False for that user.

set-csclientpolicy IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -PolicyEntry @{add=New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -Value 1}

Hope that helps

Not tried it yet but it look promising.
