Description Harshana Eranga Martin CLA 2010-03-20 08:24:12 EDT 
Current sip provider supports only voice chat. But SIP protocol supports video chat as well. So this enhancement request is to provide video chat feature to sip provider.

This might justify a new API...i.e. a 'video' session setup API (analogous to the telephony.call API, but specifically for video sessions).  I don't know whether this will be necessary...perhaps it's just an addition to the call API.  I don't know.
Comment 2 Harshana Eranga Martin CLA 2010-03-20 12:18:42 EDT 
In case of SIP, both voice and video are treated equally. If we want to create a voice session, we can send a Sip INVITE request to the intended recipient with our Voice capabilities. If we want to create a video session, then we can send a Sip INVITE request to the intended recipient with our Video capabilities. Another important thing is, the order of the sessions does not matter. If we want we can create the voice session first and while carrying out the voice session, we can create the video session. When both voice and video sessions are there they are considered as two different sessions. Even though we request to create both sessions at once they are considered as two different sessions and treated equally as I mentioned. We can terminate any session at any time without affecting any other existing session. So I think we might need a video session setup API which is very much similar to the Telephony.Call API. They'll do exactly the same thing WRT to the SIP protocol.

Seems unlikely that resources will be available for this.  Would still like to do this, so please reopen if resources are/become available for work on sip provider and video extensions.
