This article or section should be merged with Video teleconference

A videoconference is a live connection between people in separate locations for the purpose of communication, usually involving audio and often text as well as video. At its simplest, videoconferencing provides transmission of static images and text between two locations. At its most sophisticated, it provides transmission of full-motion video images and high-quality audio between multiple locations.


Videoconferencing can take place either over high-speed data networks (such as fiber optic) or satellite-based networks.


Typical videoconference programs are Microsoft Netmeeting and Gnomemeeting.

NetMeeting 101 (2195 words)
NetMeeting is a real-time communications tool from Microsoft that allows individuals to communicate in pairs or groups over the internet or intranet (an IP enabled LAN) using audio, video and data communication.
NetMeeting does not require a video camera to view callers (to send video a camera is required -- parallel port or USB cameras are the easiest to install but capture card based cameras work best - a review of cameras and guide to selection is on the hardware page)
It seems that NetMeeting, when used on a dial up line, depends on the ICMP protocol (the same one that is used by ping and traceroute programs) to assure a connection before it does its regular update to the ILS server (every 2 minutes apparently).
Desktop Conferencing with NetMeeting (794 words)
NetMeeting has been called “the king of the hill for client-side collaborative computing on IP networks” by Network Computing (http://www.nwc.com/911/911wgws13.html).
NetMeeting is a Windows-only application; however, it does run under Virtual PC on a Macintosh.
Although NetMeeting is the current “state-of-the-art,” much progress needs to be made before all its functions work together across modem connections.
