</div>I haven't used much in the way of video myself, but Asterisk 10 did some<br>
major overhauls to the confbridge application and I believe you can perform<br>
video teleconferencing with basically any SIP device/program that allows<br>
for a video stream, at least as long as it supports one of the video formats<br>
that Asterisk uses (h263 or h264). You could do some basic testing for this<br>
by running a few softphones connected to your Asterisk box. Jitsi does video<br>
calling as does Linphone... though I've personally had some trouble setting<br>
up h264 to work with Linphone. Good luck.<br>
