[Freeswitch-users] Video calls over SIP

[Daniel Ivanov]

Well, to be honest with you, it's a bit tricky, but certainly not
impossible. I was pushing my way into videoconferencing a few weeks ago
with webRTC and mod_conference, but the results were far from flawless. For
our requirements, we went with classic streaming tech. For now, you can use
google hangouts or prepare for a knee-fight with mod_vp8.
