I dislike video, so I have never even looked for that feature, but now
that I'm looking, no it doesn't support video.  I was curious, so I
googled alternatives to Blink and I ran across Linphone.  Has anyone
used this?  It exists in the FreeBSD ports collection, but is a few
versions behind the current stable version from the project's website.
