Hello, I've just read in [1] about SIP MESSAGE addition to both chan_pjsip and ConfBridge. It seems very interesting addition as it brings the capability to mix voice, video and text in conferencing. On an other hand, there are some softphones (Zoiper, Bria, ...) that tout voice, video and chat capability. Though Enhanced Messaging solution described in [1] seems more attractive to me in the long run, I wonder if it could easier to quickly set a demo using softphone instead of a web application. In this case, was I'm failing to understand is is there anything missing in Confbridge for chat conferencing with softphones. May I add I read [2] which mentions sending of "custom JSON message". My questions are: 1. Do such softphones use compatible SIP MESSAGE to implement chat feature ? If negative, what is the missing block that should be present along Asterisk ? 2. Is there a different class of clients (I'm think of Riot clients) as opposed to softphones that support Confbridge voice, video and test features ?

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.

Even with DTMF sequence and some features.conf magic, a user cannot ask to receive a specific video stream ?

Is there a specific name for such behaviour (something that could help to check if a SIP library or client supports this) ?> > -- > Joshua C.
