There are various ways this can be resolved, I've documented one
possibility in the reSIProcate wiki and bug tracker:

You mean conferences with more than 2 participants / multi-party?

There are various solutions.  https://meet.jit.si is a web based solution

Using regular softphones, the ability to make multi-party video
conferences depends on both the phone and the server capabilities.  I'm
not sure if anything in Debian at present fully supports this, Jitsi
Video Bridge is worth having a look at and you could also ask on the
Free-RTC mailing list
