I don't think it's good do bind one specific provider into a generic SIP application. The conference rooms are nothing Ekiga really is aware of. They are provided by the SER on ekiga.net. If you use ekiga.net as provider - you have them. If not, you don't. Nothing Ekiga can control. Maybe something to solve with plugins...? Julien? > Also does ekiga work with video conference aswell?

You'd need a video conference service somewhere. Ekiga.net doesn't have one, but since there are thousands of SIP providers, I bet there are some with this feature. Beside that, I wonder what the standards say about multiple video calls related to each other - will wait for Damien :-) J. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

(the more promising seems to be openMCU). In shot a MCU is a piece of software which will mix/pick up the video to send it back to the participants.

[Ekiga-list] Conference room status
Hi, i was just wondering what the status is on converencing with ekiga these days. I know you can 'dial' into a preset server/channels, but does this work 'dumb user mode' too? I hate to bring up skype, but I'm thinking, right click user, invite to converence. A simple message could be sent to the user to join channel number XXX with pin YYY. Also does ekiga work with video conference aswell? E.g. have more then 2 users see eachother via webcams? As that would be a 'killer feature' for ekiga. I know you can't just host rooms for video aswell, as it al costs a lot of bandwidth, and I know ekiga can't build mini servers into their apps, like skype does, cause i belive it's an outrage that they do that. Anyway, just sharing a few thoughts/questions. Oliver ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
