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

Click “Softphone”

Click “Preferences”

Click “Video Codecs”

Verify that h263 and h263+ are selected

Click “OK”

Click the video (Webcam) icon to display the video

Dial the other sip phone (number 1002)

Click “Show Video” on the two sip phones.
