Question : Problem: Video conference through LAN

Hi Experts,

We have two offices connected through VPN (bandwidth 1 MBPS), i would like to have video conference through VPN to our other office.

Could anybody advise me any free software to have a video conference through vpn connection.

I have tested with Microsoft Netmeeting but it is not good in video quality. I need something similar with Netmeeting with high video and audio clarity.

You can use VLC (http://www.videolan.org). Among it's huge capabilities, VLC can be configured to:

- Use the cam connected to your compuer as input device (webcam, USB, etc...)
- Use the computer audio device
- Transmit the stream over TCP or UDP
- Define the bandwidth of created strem

On the other side (th remote office) you can still use VLC, working as client connecting to the TCP stream you created.

The server/client configuration has to be repeated (reversed) on the remote office.

Advantage: many users (if allowed by your firewall) can connect to a VLC in "server mode". So the number of user partecipating to the conference will be just limited by the network and the computer resources!
