"There's only two ways of doing things. The right way and FreeSWITCH's way. And they're both the same." (adapted quote, John Turturro, Mac, 1992)

Multiple video layouts
Screen splits
Picture in picture

Video superimposing (captions, logos, and so on)
Video mixing
Video effects and real-time manipulation
