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