This is an easy task, because Elastix 1.5.x has the video codecs already loaded. So you just have to set a couple of things in your SIP configuration to get your video calls working.

Login to Elastix. Click on the PBX Tab. Click on the Tools Menu Item. Click on File Editor in the left pane window. Click on the right arrow at the bottom right hand side of the window to see if sip_general_additional.conf exists. If it does exist, click on the file and the editor will open the file. Under sip_general_additional.conf add the following lines:

videosupport=yes
maxcallbitrate=384

allow=h261
allow=h263
allow=h263p
allow=h264

If it doesn't exist create a new file and name it accordingly Remember to save the file.

Reload your Elastix configuration and that's it!. Yes, that's it!.

To reload please run the following command from the CLI. Click on Asterisk Cli in the left pane window and type module reload into the text box:

CLI> module reload

Here is a list with some softphones that support video and have been tested against Elstix. Our choice is Ekiga.
