My recommendation would be to not reinvent this functionality.  If you'd like 
some advanced call features, then consider setting up your own Asterisk 
(http://www.asterisk.org/) server.  Then, configure mythphone to make calls 
through there.  Then, you can use the conferencing capabilities from that.  The 
conferencing application currently included in Asterisk by default (MeetMe) does 
not support video conferencing, but there is a 3rd party module (app_conference) 
that does.
