[Asterisk-Users] MeetMe Video option

[Regovich, Timothy]

I was wondering if it was supported, and how.

It seems to me that video conferencing is a different beast than audio
conferencing because you cannot simply mix video like you can mix audio.

The conferencing server would have to 
1) "mix" the video by creating one aggregate outbound paneled type window,
or
2) have each incoming stream sent to each registered listening stream, which
is ok, as long as the client can handle multiple incoming streams reasonably
(yes, I realize that this results in n*n bandwidth usage), or 
3) the conference serer would need to designate a master video stream and
ignore all other incoming streams.

Each of these seem to be viable options, depending on what you want to do.
