Enabling Video Support In Asterisk

From Integrics Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Video codecs are supported on an experimental basis. Add to /etc/asterisk/sip.conf just below the other codecs:

videosupport = yes
allow = <codec>

Then run "asterisk -rx reload" to make them take effect. Note that both ends of the video must use the same codec as there is no transcoding by Asterisk.

The supported video codecs are:

  • h261 (minimum Asterisk 1.6)
  • h263 (minimum Asterisk 1.6)
  • h263p (minimum Asterisk 1.4)
  • h264 (minimum Asterisk 1.4)
