Using this thread as a place holder for Video support.

Initial support for incoming video is now in PPA. So far only PC2PC calls were tested and are supported, and although Sipe sends a H264 stream, Lync isn't able to decode it. Picture quality is not stellar, but seems on par with Lync peer to peer video.

OpenGL and VA-API outputs don't work very well; make sure you have "X Window System" or "X Window System (Xv)" set in Voice/Video Pidgin preferences.

Both-way video should now work between Pidgins. Reportedly, some Skype for Business versions are also able to display our stream.

Issues which were limiting output video resolution have been fixed so Pidgin should now send picture in improved quality.

Playing video should work through any plugin including OpenGL, only VA-API still doesn't behave well. Make sure you do not have gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed.
