core show codecs shows all 4 loaded:

200001 video     h261 (H.261 Video)
200002 video     h263 (H.263 Video)
200003 video    h263p (H.263+ Video)
200004 video     h264 (H.264 Video)

Unfortunately my android phone only has a camera on the back so it is
useless for video conferencing. I will give linphone a try to see if
it's any better.
