ola,
For example, should we use GISS? Ekiga? Skype?

the main difference between a video streaming solution
and a video conference solution ( ekiga, skype )
is that anybody is able to see what's happening,
e.g. that's it's public
( no need to authentify and join a conference room )..
so it depends on what you want..


I think the other key difference is that ekiga/skype are tuned for low latency while streaming is usually tuned to have a big buffer so that the stream doesn't get interrupted.

Any idea on the latency of GISS? When I was using Darwin Streaming Server, it usually had a buffer of 10 seconds, which makes live interaction impossible. I suppose we could have one computer streaming and the other doing video conferencing.
