A friend of mine wants to use Skype for video conferencing since the windows beta handles that. Does anyone know of an open source program equivalent for linux and windows?

I know it does video but does that do multiple people or is it just one to one. I thought it was just one to one. I didn't see anything to indicate you could do a conference with separate video streams coming from 4 different people.

Same problem as I believe pidgin would have. I want to setup a conference with audio and video from 2 or more other people. Ekiga appears to only be able to do video to one person. It has an audio conference number but nothing for video.

It may still require multicast connectivity, but the Access Grid was designed to handle many to many online meetings. http://www.accessgrid.org/ (don't be intimidated by the large scale room setups, it actually works fine with a laptop and webcam.) -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC
