User settings (140a, 140b, 140c) specifying the preferred quality of audiovisual (AV) content to be delivered to a user are collected and used to change the quality of the delivered content based on a function of all the collected settings. Users may provide input regarding tradeoffs in AV quality, such as audio quality versus video quality, or audio quality versus delay. The function used may be an average, weighted average or arithmetic mean, to generate a single quantity (160) that reflects the inputs of all the users. This single input is then used to determine one or more parameters that may be applied in defining the tradeoff(s) implemented in AV content capture, processing, or delivery.
