OT: Blocking WebEx Video while allowing remote desktop control

Hi Folks,

Kind of an odd request, but I was wondering, if at all possible, how could
one block video but allow features like chat, meeting and remote desktop
sharing with users on WebEx.
The video is apparently tunneled over port 80/443 (I could be wrong here..)

If anyone here has ever implemented or knows about how to implement this, I
am looking for some guidance on this.
I have users on the WAN and LAN utilizing WebEx and using video
conferencing. I would like to block just the video component of it. However
the actual WebEx server or services are beyond my control. If I can block
this on the WAN, I can definitely apply the same principle on the LAN.

Any suggestions are welcome :)

Piyoush.
