You may be interested in trying out Jami; there's a package for it in
Guix that works rather well, and there's also a jami service that is
useful to easily keep a rendezvous point online on servers, for example.
I've made available such a rendezvous point to the community, feel free
to try it; it's reachable at 'rdv-jami-guix'.

About making it modular; I know there's now a plugin system in Jami that
enable people to author plugins to implement things such as changing the
background (green screen), applying a blur filter, etc.  The
architecture of the software also makes it easy to create new clients
for it, as the core library is a distinct package (libjami).

Hope that helps,

Maxim
