I'm not aware of any softphone that supports the functionality. From a video perspective it has to support multiple video streams and displaying them (Asterisk doesn't do video transcoding or mixing). From a messaging perspective it has to support the JSON payload that Asterisk is using in ConfBridge. This conveys additional information that a straight up chat message wouldn't. -- Joshua C.
