[thelist] [OT] Video Conferencing

[Todd Richards]

Thanks Chris!  I hadn't even thought about using something Flash based,
but this would actually make sense!  I will definitely check out the
links that you gave me!

You might want to take a look at Macromedia Flash Communication Server
MX. I don't have personal experience with this, but I've seen a live
demo and the Macromedia reps set up videoconferencing in about five
minutes (I think it comes with a built-in wizard for that).

Per the last sentence: "A simple desktop video-conferencing solution
can be created at little expense."
