Hello All, I am looking at doing some video conferencing with SIP. I was hoping to get some early pointers from any one that is currently doing this. I have been all over goggle and voip-info and there is a ton of anecdotal information but, I was hoping for more specifics of what people are actually using that works and even some of what hasn't worked so that I can stay away. What I am considering at this point is hacking up my own solution using off the shelf equipment. Decent web camera, Polycom conference phone(maybe if the budget holds) and a large wide screen LCD monitor all connected to * Sound reasonable or am I living a pipe dream? JohnM
Direct single line video conferencing via SIP is actually pretty straightforward and works rather well. Multipoint conferencing is where you get into a bit of a mess. There are precious few products out there that claim multipoint SIP video conferencing capability, and we've had no luck so far with any of it being what one might consider straightforward. N.

CrossPlatform Linux, Windows, Mac OpenSource WebHuddle at http://sourceforge.net/projects/webhuddle It has built in VOIP of some kind, don't remember the details. But why not use Asterisk or one of the free teleconference websites for the audio and WebHuddle for the webcams and desktop sharing.
