Re: [DDN] Video conference on pc's for free?
You can only do this if none of you has a Mac because Skype and MNS Messenger do not support Macs: if Macs are involved, there is only Yahoo Messenger but am not sure if it supports video conferencing for multiple users or just one-to-one video communication. I do hope it will change soon :) Melita - Melita Zajc Head of Traning in Multmedia RTV SLO, Broadcasting Company of Slovenia Kolodvorska 2 1000 Ljubljana --- Masami_Kikuchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Jim, My name is Masami Kikuchi (Mr), an independent Japanese developer/producer/organizer of live and interactive cultural exchange projects for distance education and community empowerment using video-communication tools.

For SIP based coms I am not aware of any (free) multichannel conference tools. However if you are using the h323 protocol to communicate there is a little known tool called openmcu that is available as standard for install on a debian machine. H323 is a complex protocol (which is why everyone is moving to sip), however I have tested this and managed to set up a 4 way conversation / video link all be it within a single LAN segment (that is no firewalls routers etc ... etc...) Please also note (I am being honest here) that openmcu was a proof of principal and has not been developed much in recent times.

Thank you Lori. As I have researched this, it does not appear that either AOL or MSN support more than one-to-one video calling.

Video bloggers sometimes use stickam.com to do this. I haven't had much luck with it, but I'm also using a Mac, so PCs may fare better. -andy --- James Lerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have 4 people, in 4 separate locations who each have an audio-enabled webcam connected to a pc on a high speed internet connection..
