     I followed the procedure indicated in the link but I cannot get 
remote video.  I can only see my own feed.  We do have audio for a 
little while.  For some reason the users get disconnected after a few 
minutes even though you can still see your video feed on screen.  This 
was done with Asterisk 15.6.0
