How do people make video calls via SIP?

General

From the lack of information about video calls in the documentation (notably no mention of any video codecs), I infer that VOIP.MS does not support video calls. That’s not an issue for me, but I am curious as to how video calls can be made at all. :slight_smile:

The software I have been using, MicroSip, comes in an audio only version and a video capable version. Today I tried the video enabled version, just to see what would happen, and, not surpringly, the connection is refused with “not acceptable here”.

So how do people actually make video calls? TIA for any related information…

Hello amateur,

Video calls are currently not supported. Our service offers voice communication only, as video codecs are not supported from our end. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you.

Thanks for the confirmation. I’ve checked quite a few other voip service providers, and they don’t support video calls, either, so I am wondering why so many softphones include that functionality if it cannot be used in the real world…
