1. A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes identifying a plurality of participants associated with a video call, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of hardware decoders, wherein the hardware decoders facilitate a video call;
receiving a select group of participants from a plurality of participants associated with the video call;
identifying a video feed for each participant of the select group of participants;
sending a request for the video feed of each participant of the select group of participants receiving a video feed associated with each of the select group of participants;
determining a failure for a hardware decoder of the plurality of hardware decoders;
based on the failure exceeding a replacement threshold after multiple test periods, decommissioning the hardware decoder, wherein decommissioning comprises excluding the decommissioned hardware decoder from an analysis to assign the video feed to another hardware decoder;
allocating the another hardware decoder of the plurality of hardware decoders to each participant of the select group based on the request for each video feed.
