The MeetMe tool does not support video at this time. Asterisk does support
videocodecs to be transported over SIP or IAX links, so the only thing that
would be required is distribution of video RTP in the MeetMe app, and some
way to control that. Hasn't been done as far as I know.

It would be great if you could do some research/work in this direction, it's
something I'd love to see, but unfortunately I have other things higher on
my priorities list.
