On the high level, you need to work w/ your MPLS carrier to make sure you have a suitable QoS policy in the provider cloud, and configure your QoS policy accordingly w/ various priority & bandwidth commands.

Read through the IOS 12.4 QoS config guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/qos/configuration/guide/12_4/qos_12_4_book.html

The design guide should also help:

Much QoS is based on the premise that a class or type of traffic is guaranteed a certain amount of bandwidth but often when any of that bandwidth isn't being used it can be used by other traffic.

For example a CBWFQ such as:

policy-map aSample

class VoIP

priority percent 10

class VidConf

priorty percent 20

would guarantee VoIP 10% of interface bandwidth, VidConf 20% of interface bandwidth and guarantee 70% for all other traffic but if VoIP was only actually using 5% and VidConf wasn't active, other traffic could use 95% of the interface's bandwidth. If VidConf became active and used 15% while VoIP was still using just 5%, then other traffic could use as much as 80%, and so on.
