Asterisk able do only following video conference: one person speaking, all other see that person.

To create that use ConfBridge or Meetmee, but ensure before that u have video call between ALL party and all have SAME video codec and SAME video size/bitrate.

Asterisk not support mixing or change of videostream. See vmuktu and BigBlueButton for examples of video conferences.
