Which ITU standard provides videoconferencing interoperability over Internet Protocol (IP)?

H.323 is the ITU standard designed for videoconferencing over IP. It specifies how multimedia sessions are established, controlled, and transported over packet-switched networks, enabling interoperability between different vendors on IP networks through defined signaling (like call setup) and media control. The other options address something else: HL-7 handles exchanging health information between systems; H.320 is for videoconferencing over circuit-switched networks such as ISDN; HIPAA is a privacy/security regulation, not a videoconferencing standard.
