Making video calls – Asterisk tutorial

sip.conf

To be able to send video during a call, codec h263 and video support must be enabled. This is done by adding three lines in the sip.conf file (Location: /etc/asterisk/sip.conf).
Add the following lines in the [general] tab of the file.
videosupport = yes        ; Enable video 
allow = h263             ; H.263 is our video codec 
allow = h263p             ; H.263p is the enhanced video codec

Reload

Reload the sip.conf file by running the following command in the CLI console: reload
Config in Softphone
Arrow Click “Softphone”
Arrow Click “Preferences”
asterisk video call
 Arrow Click “Video Codecs”
Arrow Verify that h263 and h263+ are selected

    An eSIM card is a card that stores your mobile phone number and other important data, such as your carrier’s network settings. When you insert your eSIM card into your mobile phone, your phone will automatically connect to the network and use the same carrier settings as you would use if you were using your actual mobile phone number. eSIM Card
