Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know that we just merged into master the ability to create conferences via the Ring GNOME user interface. Assuming that audio/video calls work well for you already you should now be able to create conferences between multiple existing calls of any kind (Ring, SIP, ip2ip). You can start a conference by making two separate calls and then dragging and dropping one call onto the other (in the Conversations view on the left). You can then add more participants by making more calls and then also dragging and dropping them onto the conference item in the view. Note that only the person creating the conference can "manage" it as his Ring is effectively combining the incoming video, audio, and chat of the other participants and re-sending it to everyone. We have tested with up to 5 or 6 participants. There is a theoretical limit but in practice it mostly depends on the power of the "conference master's" machine and the resolution of the video of each participant.
Another small change is that we moved the chat pane from the bottom of the video to the right, by default. However, if you prefer the old configuration you can go into the Settings and select "Show chat on the bottom". The conference feature along with some other user interface changes should be available in the nightly releases tomorrow morning (well, technically sometime after midnight (GMT -5) when the packaging builds complete. -stepan _______________________________________________ Ring mailing list [email protected] https://lists.savoirfairelinux.net/mailman/listinfo/ring
