[NTLUG:Discuss] Video Conferencing in Linux

[Fred Hensley]

My only suggestion would be regarding sip connections and network address translation.

Sip connections have been notorious for not playing well with NAT, hence some workarounds have been put into place to minimize these issues.

Try googling "sip nat connectivity" for more details, and good luck!

Merry Christmas to all,

Guys/Gals,

I'm having a bugger of a time and can't seem to find
the solution.  I'd like to setup a point-to-point video chat with
another computer (on another network).  Originally searching for
GnomeMeeting brought me to Ekiga - which seemed to install and find the
right equipment (I'm using a V4L: compatible camera that is usb connected
and had built-in camera).  Setup seems to work (I can see the VU
meter levels and hear audio that's being spoken into the mic - and I can
see local video well).

When I establish a call to another SIP
user, we connect - but can only view local video....it doesn't seem to
allow remote video (i.e. he can't see me and I can't see him - we can only
see ourselves).

I'm trying to find Ekiga's log - but no luck
and online searches don't seem to point to real issues and docs.

 - Thanks - dave
