Hello misc@
I have a friend who runs Windows who has asked me if there is any
way we can occasionally communicate with each other via some kind
of video-conferencing application similar to what programs like
Skype and Facetime provide.
Does such a thing already exist for OpenBSD?
My requirements are fairly simple:
1) Must be usable between OpenBSD and Windows.
2) Must transmit/receive audio and video from a webcam.
3) Should be as point-and-click (on the Windows side) as possible.
4) Bonus points if it contains a text-based chatting feature.
For number 3, I can drive over to my friend's house and do a one-time
setup of anything highly technical, but after that, it should be as
simple for them as possible. They're moderately technically inclined,
so entering a server/port/etc. is well within their means, but configuring
port-forwarding in their firewall and the like is something I'd have to
do myself.
Looking through the ports tree, I see a few programs that look promising,
like telephony/baresip but I don't see anything like Ekiga or Empathy.
Before I put the effort in to trying to get something working, I thought
it'd be prudent to ask the list if such a thing is even feasable first.
Any pointers (even a, "No, this isn't possible yet with OpenBSD <-> Windows")
would be appreciated.
Thank you!
